Default DIY lip

Has anyone here made a diy front lip for their EG? I have a 95 coupe and i want my lip to go down lower in front... i have been hearing about a "Home Depot" lip. Exactly how do you make this? Anyone have pics of theirs?

"Professional" grade (brand?) pound in garden edging. Big black roll. Good enough for two applications I think. You will cut off the hook part that goes into the ground, and use it upside down. Make sure your cut is straight! Some kind of screws, black or silver, or rivets if you want to do it the hard way. I also used 3M double sided tape. I wanted to only use the tape, so I spent $10 on it, but it didn't work. So then I screwed it. Bring it indoors and unroll it, let it warm up a bit so it straightens out some. Or lightly heat it up, it will warp if you aren't careful. An extra set of hands will be helpful to line it up and keep it in place as you screw it on. Be prepared to scrape a lot of driveway aprons. But hell, it was only 5 bucks. Now go look like you drive one of those cool Production race cars!

Done right it can look nice, I have seen the 3 dolla lip that was a 3 dolla disaster.

E-prep's looks pretty good though.

Now do the rear lip and sideskirts, I bet that would look good.

Well I hade a "lawn lip" on both my last 2 cars..89 HB and 92 Hb and I thought it was really good looking, but E Prep yours looks very nice. I think some people might not like it because it is not a name brand or carbon fiber or **** like that. But hell theses lips can be replaced for under $10 so I give it a
