pignose lip on chuki front end???

i was at the j-yard yesterday and saw a s13 hatchback with the piggy front end. Got me a new working electric mirror (finally) but as i was leaving i gave it one last look over and the frnt end was in near perfect condition, no rust, dents yada yada yada.....so i got down and yanked off the lip. Which is where i am now....i figure i could test fit and what not but work interferes wit my project yet again. Will that lip work on the chuki front end?? reason i got it without knowing if it'd fit or not is because i got the dude to sell it for $10!!!!told him it was a gravel shield haha....anyway, if i couldnt use it- i could always throw it on clist or somethin and make more than $10 off of it. i dont see why it wouldnt fit but then there are other reasons otherwise. might jus end up wingin it on my next day off and testin it out. thanx yall

if you do it flat black, i can understand that..cause we all have no money for our parts to match, BUT its gonna look like a plastic chuki lip.

I think it looks best colormatched as well. I personally do not like it on the chuki or silvia bumpers since it fits horribly. I say you go back and nab the zenki bumper and put that on it too.

well heres an update......i decided that on my 45min lunch break that id try and mess with it( 3rd shift job at gangster *** warehouse, any who...) i had sanded it down and painted it at work yesterday and so i fgured since it was done and i already yanked off my old stock chuki lip (was completly gone in front middle, only had the sides-looked horrible) figured id try it. Other than fightin like hell makin my holes, i slapped on a bolt/washer/nut combo on each hole and it lined up really damn good. im so stoked about having that now rather than the young *** stock, skinny lip. jus wanted to post up that i got it on, and damn near perfect and after i get my camera back in order ill post pics. Thanx for the help guys

Ahhh yes, Pignose lip on chuki front end. I've done it so many times. You either love it or hate it. I LOVED it at first than quickly began to hate it. It makes the front end SO much lower. If its paintmatched, it'll be white/vanilla on the bottom before you know it.
