Thats a good point. Thanks.

Update I just got fiberglass for the backing. It is a very good boat grade weave.

I am still planning on doing this, however, I only have a busted up lip in my posession.

If I don't find a good lip I will have to repair mine an make the mold from it. :D

ugh, I am still interested too. Post a thread asking for cheap lip pieces on MOCA. www.atlantamx3.com/mocaforum I think we might have two decent sides if we (MOCA) put two together. I know I have a ok one that I was saving for just such a molding process, but I am too busy.

Nobody load your guns over this, but....


J-Spec mini sides.

I would rock a JDM lip if the sideskirts weren't full length. I think this would be the sexiest look ever for an MX-3.

It couldn't be too hard to mock one up either, using Euro mini sides and JDM full lengths to design it.

I think the user -eunos- has a mold for the JDM lip... He was going to do a run of them... He's selling his Eunos now, though, so might not be too keen. Also, he's here in Australia (but on the other side to me!), so postage might be a bit...
Still, might be worth shooting him a PM...

Winters coming soon So we might be able to talk aaron into making some copies of my lip when its off for the season, its a bit more aggresive but if theres interest Ild be willing to let him make molds of it.
