Rhino-lining a lip kit?

Hey everyone,

I had a crazy idea today after seeing an advertisement for that rhino liner spray on bedliner. I have the ABS front and rear lip on my RS3, and I like the way the black looks. So my questions is, what do you think a rhino lined front and rear lip would look? I think it'd look pretty agressive. Just wanted some opinions.

I'm actually considering doing just that when the weather warms up, and maybe doing my grilles to match, too. In my head, it sounds good, anyway.

Also, I've heard good things about the roll-on Duplicolor bedliner (not so much the spray), which gives a smoother finish than Rhino Liner.

I'd rather have a Nerf bumper.

Seriously though... it could work. My only concern is that if you were to hit something, it's more likely to damage the whole bumper...

...from the Line-X website.

Looks like it will work out pretty well.

@fourse1: Nice. That actually isn't as goofy as I feared it might be.

That settles it, I'm going to do this when I get a lip kit in a couple months.

so do you think this would help protect a kit? like make it stronger? I have a Tsunami lip kit on DOA and it is made of fiberglass, would this help make the fiberglass last longer, and hold up better? what if I did both sides?

Will...I would almost say this would make the fiberglass stronger...i would think it would be less likely to crack or chip...i have seen people throw cinderblocks in their truck bed with a rhino lining in it with no damage...

but if you are after something thats really going to work i would definitely go with rhino lining and not the cheap auto parts store roll on stuff...
