I sort of like the lip. It's not just screaming noticeable, but nice.
I'm trying to find a way to attach the front plate without making holes that can be removed or hidden for shows. There is a retractable plate holder and I've messaged another xB owner that has one to see where he got it. I hate the front plate...BLAH!
Thanks everyone! I personally don't like the whole bodykit stuff that's why I went this direction. I like it simple, mudflaps and splitter. But there's no splitter for our cars.
Hellen:
I know exactly what plates your talking about. Expensive but slick! I just let my stuff hang, it's enough personality for me :]
Parker:
I got these from home depot but today I went to lowes and got a better brand that feel stronger and flare out more.
Again I wanna thank everyone. More inputs are welcome...
That is the garage door bottom weather strip (I think that is the correct term) mod. I've seen it a couple places, but not common enough to not look different still.
I've thought about it myself . . .
I'd prefer this over other more stiff lips, as it will flex rather than crack and is cheap enough to just replace if it gets chewed up.
Hmmmm, seems like a real distraction from the good looks of the xB2....(Read that..."IMO the license plate looks like crap!")
As far as the "lip" goes its not bad...doesn't take away from the xB2...and is a cheap mod if you like it.
I respect everyones opinion of my license plate but the cops can't do S#!@ about it. What would be there reason? "Your plate is falling off!" :lmfao: No its not...
If it happens ill update you guys on it. Haven't yet, never will...
oh alright thanks for letting me know. do you think vinyl would look good and stay on that material well enough? i got pulled over for not having my front plate i hate the way it looks with it!
The material is rubber foam. Ive never used carbon fiber vinyl but if its really sticky it would probably hold on. It would just be hard to put it on the entire thing. The vinyl thing is great idea though...
One roll of garage seal and some good 3M double side tape. I haven't had any problems with it flapping or coming off. It has been tested at 95mph and still good! :yes:
I hope I've solved my front plate issue. Right now it is riding inside the windshield, but I've ordered a retractable plate holder. The automatic ones were way too expensive, so I'll just use people power. http://www.drivingcomfort.com/index.cfm/fa/p/pid/5509/sc/52393

Looks great IMO. This mod is so popular that people are sellin it on ebay as a "universal lip" haha. I almost bought one and had no idea that i could have just went down to lowes and got one!!!! Awesome thread!!!!!
