Will this fit on a 00-02 GT bumper? (pic)

Will this lower lip fit on a 00-02 front GT Sunfire bumper, or will it need modification and if so what? Any input.

I think this will make the front end more aggressive. <br>

Not without modification and modifying it to fit isn't especially convenient.

The SE bumper is shorter at the corners and comes to a slight point in the middle. The GT bumper comes out further at the corners and then makes a smooth, almost straight line right across.

I've got a pic somewhere of the lip put on a GT bumper without modification and it looks pretty crappy. There's a gap most of the way across. If you filled it in I'm sure it would look great but you'd probably trash the work on the first driveway you scraped. The GT bumper is also lower than the SE one.

Yeah, looks way better on the base bumper. That attachment pic shows how it doesn't fit at all.

Damn thats exactly how I thought it would look. Aggressive and mean as hell.

Is that first one (Black shiny one) in the attachment?

Jeff,
How hard was it for you? Was there any spaces or gaps? How was the fitment? Is it too low? Any special done to it, or just slapped on?

Thanks people! <br>

No no that black car is not mine its a friend of mine. he did not do it cuz he was way to low, but i did buy the lip off of him and i am going to do it my car.

he cut his in the middle and it fit perfect, just need to fill in the small gap in the middle of the lip <br>

It hardly fits perfect. Look at the far corner in the pic I posted. You can clearly see how the bumper comes forward further than the lip so the lip is basically under and behind the front of the bumper.

Molded together though, as you're doing, I have no doubt that it will look awesome. I just worry that it will end up even lower than a Streetfire bumper. This was ultimately why I didn't bother. Hell, I scrape it enough as it is on the SE bumper.

Just be real careful with it when it's done!

ya but since the one i have is cut in the middle you can adjust it so it is flush with the bumper.

Eeek!
That is one bad fit! (WW pic)
So it looks like custom fabricating needs to be done. And sits to low. Hmmm.

Damn, I think i will be sticking to my Mercedes Benz's mini-lip a little longer. <br>

well i just started tonigth putting the rk sport lip in my GT bumper..

and it fits perfect, i just had to cut it in half and then put it back together which is no biggy..

it looks great there is no gaps at all, if u put enought screws in it, you can make it flush all the way around

lol

It won't.^^^

Jeff,
Man, that looks to have been a a lot of work! That looks mean as hell. But the practicality (too low) is not to good.
If you do get it done, I would like to see how it came out.
Major props dude!
