HomeDepot front lip

thought I'd try this with this car since I won't be keeping it long and I really wanted some kind of a front lip. My favorite is the TL lip modded to fit, but it is way too much money to spend now, this was only about $20 and 1 hour time, hate it or love it, I like it!!

If you are getting rid of it than oh well.

If you keep it do yourself a favor and buy this... (what justin mentioned)

You can screw it into your bumper, if you would like.
That's the route I would go.

and before you rebut, you cant see the holes you'll be drilling on the underside of your bumper.

For the same price of those $20 also found @ Home Depot, you can also go with the nascar look.

FYI. These don't fit the TL. I got THIS ONE and while it is a great quality and very firm and does not bend, it is not wide enough from passenger to driver side, and also not deep enough. Compared to the TSX, the TL must have a more pointed nose, and the TSX must also be more narrow. Because the nose sicks out way past the lip and it is about 3" too narrow from side to side.. So I checked out the wheelbase difference between the TL and the TSX, and the TSX is 3 inches more narrow. So ya, makes sense.. TL TSX

I figure these 2 are the same dimension since for the same car.. LIP1
LIP2

after some much closer inspection and setting it up with jack stands to hold it in place, I might be able to cut it to make it fit. But it will be a "stretch"... Will update as I progress.
