Bottom of front lip missing

[Jinho]

My dad and I noticed that the bottom pointed part of the front lip was missing, or was maybe cut off at some point? Does anyone know where (if even) we could find a replacement? Thanks.

This lower nose panel is available from Jaymic and I believe W&N. Someone probably cut the lower part on your car because it was rusted out. Its a known area as the drain holes get clogged up...

Oh my, looks like someone was getting access to that rather serious rust. Not sure what they were planning there, make a repair of some sort?

I think that's the lower area of the front nose section. Many 02s (including mine) have had that section replaced usually due to collision damage. But rust too I suppose.

Used nose panels from donor cars can be found  and new ones are available as well.

Don't have the 02 rust repair gene so I can't tell you if thats economically repairable. But I'm thinking not.

So the cheap way to fix that is to find a spoiler that you like and cover it up. In so cal you should be able to find a donor piece with out too much trouble but you'll need a experienced sheet metal welder to attach it because that area has no support around it and it's super easy to warp by using too much heat.

I vote for custom tuck- make a curved section that rolls under and connects to

the structure behind it (since you're going to clean that up, too).
