my mugen front lip fell off on the freeway!

1cleanfg · 09-11-2007, 06:22 PM

So this happened a couple months back, but i just wanted to warn everybody with the mugen style front lip for the coupes. I was driving down the 210 to my gf's house when i heard a loud thump followed by another two loud thumps. The first thing i thought about was my lip. I look in my rearview and see my lip flying from the back of my car. I see the headlights from the car behind move further and further behind. I get off the freeway to find that my lip is gone and the driverside of my bumper was sticking out. The first thump i heard was me hitting some debris on the freeway and the two other ones was me running my lip over. So anyone that has this lip, be careful. I had bolted it down pretty well, but it still got loose. Funny thing is that one of the front bolts that was holding down the lip was still attached, weird. Just a heads up for everybody.

Damn I hope I never have to experience anything like that. You must be pissed.

yeah, i think i was more sad than pissed. money down the drain. plus i have scratches on my bumper from when i would scrape the lip, that thing was too low. thinking of the hfp front lip to cover them up.

I was considering the Mugen knock offs at first, but hearing this makes me glad that I went with HFP. Plus I think HFP looks cleaner.

i was thinking of it, but just might do the hfp lip, i'm sure it's more secure. I do like the look of the mugen best though.
