**EDIT** SEPTEMBER 11TH 2008! view last pge...


FIRST OFF!!! please remember guys im a 18yr old with no type of body work experience.... i dont work with cars a lot but im trying to learn

i really do want to know ur alls opinions but please dont chew me up and spit me all over the place to much, i think i did my best for my first time trying something like this

i believe a little bondo can fix the "Imperfections".... what do u all think??

ps anyone that is a beginner and wants to put a gen 3 rmm lip on, i highly advise u all to spend the extra money on letting a proffesional do it, for me the direction didnt help at all and it took sooooo long to put on! lol




here it is....

before...



After...



my mess ups....( do u think bondo will work?)




side shots..




the RMM lip is held on by 3 screws in each wheel well and one screw in the top of each fog light opening...ill probably put some more in later

Aha nice, a little bit high off the ground isn't it. Patch the crack up, paint it and we'll see.

[LazyAccent]

Pretty nice for first time. Now lower that thing already =]

[TheKevin]

is it gonna get painted soon?

[prnc_chrmng]

try learning fiberglass, its not that hard, and itll be alot easier to fix those mess ups.

[solley]

thanks for ur all inputs!

lol yes i hope the next thing i get is suspension but i dont know what to shoot for suspension wise so ill have to look

and for painting, i dont know what color i should paint it, i dont want to get a different color silver, than is on my car so i think i might paint the lip and the bumper black, eventually i think im gonna get my car completly painted black but idk...

thanks guys!

alright cool ill see if i can go to auto zone and get some fiberglass filler or somethin

[shajbot]

Btw, replace that rusty tranny cooler...

But don't get discouraged man, it looks pretty neat, before you do anything, should take it out for a spin, see if there is any downward push at high speed 70mph+

Lookin good Solley! not to be an ass, but what made you cut so much of your bumper? I mean both sides arent even removed evenly. did you use a dremel? because your about to learn body work 101!

lol no problem i know i removed a lot lol but as u can see the passangers side is the side i started on. i thought that the fog light part of the lip got caught in the fogl ight part of the stock bumper, i wasnt thinking and acidently removed to much of the bumper in that area, that the lip wouldnt cover lol, so on the other side i was more careful...still cut to much though

lol and yep i used a dremel thing lol its all i had... and had the jist of what it did haha

[samarai912]

man! you gotta be more patient. testing fitting is the right fitting. now yo gotta learn how to fill that body. be careful and get it just right, I would hate to see your new new millen motorsports lip look awkward to you. it'll bug you for the rest of your life. it looks hella good so far solley except the chunks but my front end looks like poo compared to yours, as is.

[Venom_5]

u should mold it onto the bumper if you want it to look good ... either with fiberglass, or hours upon hours of bondo and sanding

[lgcongbach]

Not bad at all, now start ordering the sidekirts already ^^

[MyFreeCamry]

If you want suspension, there is a group buy on ksport coilovers in the for sale section, hella deal. but not bad, glad you ordered one.
