5$ Lowes/Home depot Lips.
What are your opinions on these? Its flexible material so if you hit a curb it just bends, yet its sturdy enough to be rock solid at over 60mph, they look moderatly clean (in my opinion), but is the idea of using a peice of "Base cove molding" just too ghetto? What do yall think.
Fuck JDM "style"

it looks ghetto as hell on the miata with it being tacked on.. but it doesn't look too bad on the civic..
not my cup of tea but a cheap alternatrive.
you could cut some holes out, give it a design look, that might better make it look a lot less like a home depot part
People have been using those for years. It's not ghetto on a car if you are using it for functionality. Later, QD.

twoONEoh
miata gotta beard LOL
take it off the miata and leave it on the civic...and like Mdeezy said cut some holes or something give it some sort of design...but it dont look ghetto not that bad i say
is it that hard to save for a knock off lip? i mean if youre that desperate for a lip for aesthetic purposes, 5 dollars isnt going to make it look that much better.
i understand some people dont want to scrap the shit out of a 200-300 dollar lip, but spending 5 bucks to make your car a rolling home depot garden advertisement doesnt make too much sense either.
dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.
I think it looks better on the Miata. And I don't like Miatas. I also don't like Civics either, lolol. People have been using these garden edgers for a long time. And as far as the tacking of it on the car. Check out a real race car some time. Half the shit on those cars are just tacked on. Later, QD.

i don't think it's bad at all. if i had either of those cars, i'd put it on in a heartbeat.
the rivets make it look bad ass anyways
"I remember the first time I had sex I kept the receipt."
i actually like it on both cars
It doesn't look ghetto on either cars. What "exactly" is this material called now so I can find it at Home Depot.
kevin - i think its called vinyl base cove, but im not 100% sure
as much as i hate how they look, if dont right, they look pretty good, like on this srt4
the miata doesnt look good at all, but its probably an auto-x car. It looks like the person with the civic did a good job with it, but u can only make it look like the ones in the pic. u cant mold it to lokk like a spoon or mugen lip or anything fancy, just a flat lip like on an old BMW roadracer

personally i hate it, it looks ugly

It really is ghetto, despite looking nice on some cars. But what other people think shouldn't sway your opinion on it. It's your car. This is the type of thing where there is no gray area.

Also, it's lawn edging for those who asked.
look for it on h-t...it looks good as long as theres not too many screws on it
RESONATORS ARE FOR THE DEVIL!
Works for some cars...e30s maybe?
I saw it on Simon's...it doesn't look too bad.
Man spend money on the real shit not the depot shit.
i wonder how it looks at 100+.....flubber flexible
Nope.
Why? If this is a daily and track why spend a hundred or more on something that can't be used? Later, QD.

EXACTLY!!
In my opinion I would almost rather have this lip over some JDM exlusive ultra rare aerodynamicly tuned carbon fibre quad port fancy lip, because if you go plowing into something (a high speedbump maybe) you're going to tear that shit all the way off and be left with a terribly scratched up lip that you wasted 100+ on. My friend with a 240sx (Santacruz77) has a Lowes lip which sits about 2.5" off the ground, try that with a non flexible lip.
They stay suprisingly solid, you would be suprised. And thats not even with a metal brace.

I had a home depot lip on the wrx for a while but it was a different one than those garden edging ones. Look for the rubber garage door sealer strips and thats what I had, its a little different look and attaches under the bumper, I dont think I ever got any pics of it on the car but it looked pretty good. Whatever floats your boat, I liked it for a bit but then took it off. One of these days I might put it back on, I've still got all of the holes drilled under the bumper for it I just through the old strip away.
Looks like this:

^Now that's done very well.
Would never be able to guess on that WRX.
lol, "home made" lips FTW
Sometimes I'd would much rather mine be flexible though!
Thats what I was going for, although it wasnt my original idea. It looks almost like the JDM V-limited lips that guys spend $$$$$ on and I was frustrated at the lack of available wagon lips for our cars.

Wow, those lips look great on both the Sti and the teg, nice work.

miata needs for paint the screws.. but it dosnt look bad on the civi, but i wouldnt do that shit.
I dont want to paint the screws, I like the look, go to an SCCA race Home Depot lips are popular
I wouldn't paint them either. Later, QD.I dont want to paint the screws, I like the look, go to an SCCA race Home Depot lips are popular

Electrical tape actually comes out much better than paint/sharpie on the screws, thats what I did on my Civic.

That miata looks like lightning mcqueen from Disney cars!!! haha..
anyone has the gun to put the screw in?
huh? A rivet gun for rivets you mean?
yea man do u have it???
North Tool or Harbor Freight, you can get them for $10-20 depending on the kit/accesories or a pneumatic one for around $50-60.
If you don't want to use rivets, you can buy some self tapping sheet metal screws, they work fine.
