Go to home depot and get 10 feet of lawn trim. It has a circle at one side and two lines on the other. I did it to my eg sedan. It doesn't do much but make your front end look about 2 inches lower. But if you do it right it looks okay.

Personally I think that my Garden lip looks pretty good.



Apparently people with race cars like it to.

I don't really care if people like it. Its the car that has become my track car. After watching a couple cars go into the gravel and completely destroy thier $600 CF spoon lips I desided that this is a far better choice. I replace this thing twice a year for a total of $7 CDN each time. I like the bolts that hold it on to actually, gives it kinda a hard core no BS race look to it IMO.

I'm sorry but those lips look horrible, why not save up $30 bucks and get a use 92-95 EX/Si lip from a junk yard or the classifieds. The least you could do is get a used lip from another vehicle and cut and mold it to your car. Not trying to hate, just giving my opinion.

"Lips" are a complete waste of money on any street car.
