9rider Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I got the idea from one member of the forum about home-made chin lip spoiler. I have a REAR, yes , rear lip bumper from the acura CL 98. The piece goes to bottom end of the rear bumper. I saved this piece when replaced the cracked bumper for my wife's CL. It is actually 2 pieces , one short side and one long side. I flipped it up side down and the side went to front of the z. Sorry i didn't take the picture before working on it. Here is some mock up . Hope it can turn out well and will be a cheap way to add stance look to our Z while we are in tight budget. I will finish up this during weekend and keep you guys update. The CL , you can see the lip underneath of the rear bumper The mock up Z,still need some adjustment and fit.. . I did cut the long side to match with the short one and cut the leftover for the center piece and that about it , nothing more.

jhm Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Interesting approach, very innovative! Interested to see the final results....good luck with the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not too bad.... I hope it's held on by more than just tape though... I've often thought about alternate Rear Spoilers. The wing from a hyndai Elantra with a couple pegs fabricated to adjust the angle might not look too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9rider Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 This is the original lips from the CL. I didn't take picture before the cut. Flipped it side way and up side down. Cut a small pieces to make corner end. Used some JB plastic weld to glue together. Primed . Wet sanded. Final prefit..I still need to run some welting and adjustment. I don't know if I have the center piece will make it look better . How you guy think ? It don't look as bad in person tho, It was a pita to mount it with the air dam. I should had used silicone or the JB weld but I thought if it F up then I still can take it out easily so I used rivets. I will add some gigantic spacer to prevent the rivet head eating up my airdam. Also will add some aluminum bar support underneath . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about fab a duck tail too but most duck tail I found are curve not horizontal straight as for the Z hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirus9 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'd definitely like to see it with a center section if you try that. I think it looks a bit odd with the gap in the middle, but hey, that's just my personal taste. The idea is definitely cool though. I may try something like this in the future.

I'll get to it one day, but first I need to finish getting the Z painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9rider Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Final with center piece and welting - I use left over from my fender flare installation. The chin piece gave about 2 inches extend to the ground. My car is stock shock. Edited November 12, 2013 by 9rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
