doesnt look right.. especially without anything on the sides and rear...
i think it would be ok with a lip kit.. considering the front lip tends to point up some.
just alone on the front though...

I am with everyone else, more and bigger pictures please! This would be a nice alternative for lowered people so they don't have to worry about a fiberglass lip getting messed up.

How about a picture larger than a thumbnail.

i need more pics that was off a cell phone ill take some tomorrow..im still not even sure how i feel about it..i think without any lip on the rest of the car it might not look right
its a thick ass rubber, can that even be painted?
yes its very ghetto..but i wanted to see what it would look like and i can take it off so why not..looks good on my buddies 98 max tho his cars black as well but it def isnt bad..
i went to home depot and got garage door weatherstripping...http://images.orgill.com/200x200/8179822.jpg thats it..9 dollars.
thank god its not a permanent thing..i was told when driving its hard to see until your right up on the person standing there...

its like a very flexable rubber material...if anything it will deff save the paint under you bumper or lip..when i get my front lip im gonna put this underneath it..im pretty sure it will hold up too being scraped..it is kinda soft tho..so if anything it might rip if you smack it real good...but mine has held up fine..my boy has this on his subaru for a year ..even in winter and its still good
.....i dont think THIS cheap mod should even be done to our cars...

do you have the side lip kit on only? or is there one on the back and only the fronts missing? might look better on your car since it has the side lip but its still blk rubber

Ok, time to add my opinion (for what little it is worth). Lip kits were designed to increase the aerodynamics of the vehicle, somewhere down the road these and body kits become more for altering the looks of a car (which I can accept) but this... God this is just awful. You are taking an Acura with regardless of model is considered a high end car and turning it into a joke. This is the reason that Honda\Acura guys are laughed at, because this is the essance of rice. This won't look good if you painted it added more or anything, this will only be good if you hit a pot hole and scraped the whole damn thing off your car! If you can't afford to alter your car then don't because this is even worse! You have a good car - keep it that way!

and why are you so worried what other people think? its your car you do what you want and that should be good enough..i dont get in my car thinking o i hope everyone likes it and i get there approval and blah blah blah
fuck that..i realize it might not look great..and YOU might consider this rice.....but i am missing the HUGE loud autozone exhaust...i need a 4 foot high spoiler..maybe some stickers on the car how about i put lights under the car too...once i do that.... you can call my car ricey..
but i dont think someone is gonna see that small rubber lip and think its a ricey car..but you are titled to your own shitty opinion i guess

i want to see some pics of that..i think it would def look better if i had a lip kit on all around and then had that little piece on there..it would stand out as much but would make a small difference..ima take some pics later on and then take it off though cause i cant get over the fact its only on the front of the car..but for 9 dollars it was worth it to check and see how it looked..ill post pics of the 98 maxima with it on there..get your opinions on that..i think it looks better on that car for sure black car too
