depending on how low you want the front to sit, a VW lip is much thicker then anything else I've used *compared to the PWJDM, Camry Lip, or especially OEM* so it's all depends on if your car is lowered and if you don't mind the lip being beaten a bit

ps. home depot lips look like **** and are complete ****.

Im, with you I think the HD lip is crap, sorry to those of you who have it, it doesnt lookk that bad till you know what it is.

kinda a girl that looks hot and then your buddy tells you she has crabs, kinda ruins it.

anyway, I like the VW lip but how low is it, my car is lowered about 2+ inches from stock.
if I am only spending 25-50 on it I dont care if it gets a little scratched up(on the bottom)

Check out this website http://www.racingrubberlip.com They look nicer than the home depot lip. I actually came across one on Ebay(item # 270124988104). Decent looking.

I saw it on Ebay. It doesn't look that bad. A step up from lawn edging.
