KINGS OF KINGS

I think its clean and sutble. too bad its a cheap DIY from homedepot, it would be wayy more sick if it was OEM or like idk sarona, or really good shit, like ASM, amuse, spoon etc etc...

xrvman

The whole thing only cost me 19.97 it all can be bought at lowes it is the garage door seal 2 rolls of 3m outdoor doublesided stick tape make sure to get outdoor. then I got 8 3/4inch self tapping phillips screws with one inch washers. The screws are just a precautionary they are evenly spaced starting at the wheel well. Thanks

I dunno man, why pay like 20X more for the same thing just because it's got a brand name?

OP, the lip looks really good except for the corners seems a bit tucked in from a certain angle. Otherwise great job dude.

KINGS OF KINGS

becuz its brand name............I can gaurentee you, if that was made by a well known company theres would be ALOT more TL's running arond with it. right now threres only 3 TL's running it.

I think this add on lip thing looks clean man, but i would never run it because its from home depot, plus not to mention its a really weak foam type of material. im sure if a well known shop makes it they will make it out of a more durable material and correct mounting material

I bought that garage weather stripping last year for this idea, then i smacked myself and said "why the hell are you doing this? this is pretty ghetttooo"

looks good man, i wouldn't do it though. material is weak. how long do you think it will hold up and look good like that? im sure you'll say "hey it's cheap i'll just reinstall a new one" true... but do you want to keep on putting this foam on all the time?

Byruns

No one else other than the people on this forum would even realize that it's a Home Depot mod.

on a lowered car one slight slip up going up or down a driveway or parking entrance......
GOODBYE HOME DEPOT LIP!

KINGS OF KINGS

they would if they felt how flimsy it is lol. i agree with jptl, its a really soft material. can you imagine it wiggling and shaking on the free way, then someone will know its truly a DIY mod.

I' admit it is a great mod! i just did it a few weeks back. it keeps all the dirt, dust, and leaves from getting in my garage it's a good mod for garage doors

all kidding aside it does look good but we'll see for how long.

KINGS OF KINGS

this guy knows something
sounds like ATLP might be making something similar. then that what I would buy

quiet you


and JPTL04 is 100% correct. I had to replace mine over 6 times because i am lowered, one scrape...you are done. Unless you dont mind running around with a flapping lip

but very nice OP, looks clean on NBP!

Kro

im def not feeling this. mostly for the ridiculousness factor, not the look. the look is ok. but still too sloppy for me. but hey if you like.....

also i think you should just finish painting your grill black. i think it looks awkward with just that one part still gray. not that you care what i think. but there you have it anyway.

looks good.

Pay more for quality, definitely. Paying more for a just name, that's pretty stupid IMHO. To me, it's hard to beat a good value.

If brand snob appeal is so important, you probably should have bought a BMW, Benz, or an Audi; not a tarted up Honda.

KINGS OF KINGS

have you ever heard of the saying, "you pay for what you get"?

when buying brand name things, its more then likly good quality. no body will spend bank on something cheap.

ballerjai

LOL, hey don't hold out on us.. If ATLP is making something similar.. oh man.

haiinguyenn

CLEAN!! you should post a vid or a DIY thread! really!

<{Kris}>

That doesn't always apply. When something is labour intensive or a new technology, then you do likely get what you pay for (e.g. paint job, home renovation, etc); but when all you do is buy from brand names, chances are you're paying for advertisment, marketing, and a preceive notion of "quality" (e.g. Nike products, Sony, Starbucks, Bose, etc).
In fact, many companies price their products high just to influence consumers minds into thinking that their products are superior. Seems like this strategy worked on you.

xrvman

The sides didn't flare because I pulled the material tight around the edges

You did a great job! I like it. Looks good

Looks pretty cool, wish I could see it person. I'm sure I'd like it even more.

xrvman

Yeah the pics dont do it justice the flat black part of my grill matches the lip it looks good

very nice. good thing it adds an extra protection for the paint underneath the bumper

Ya you get what u pay for, when ur paying 15k extra for a mercedes C350, for performance styling and realiabilty, its all bs. The car is slow, heavy, ugly, and to many electrical problems, just like beemers and audi's.

When you work for big corporations you start to realize that the saying "you pay what you pay for" is nothing but a big load of crap..

The majority of the time you pay for the name not for what you get.. TRUST ME!

reminds me of the underlip they have for the subbies...


looks clean for sure..

Now i'm curious as to how it would look with the 07+base a-spec lip!! I think it'd be sweeet... Anybody out there with an 07+base lip wanna be our guinea pig???

jptl04

iTrader: (1)

^^^^ that is an 07+ base lip.

xrvman

He means the Base a-spec on an 07+ which i don't have... but I would do it if I did

i really like your head lights, how much was it ?

xrvman

I did them my self Where do yo live ill do them for free u just need to buy the paint

ayethetiense

whats it look like from the bottom? is the rubber cupping the lip or is it just connected on the bottom?

spiike

Home depot mod... you could also get some plywood and make a wing.

why put a $20 rubber garage insulator on a $30k car... maybe for a civic.
