Pics are too dark, but I think they are different than the HD ones. These look like they have some kind of grill (?) on them... I think I like the HD ones better, especially considering the cost.

OH! i'm retarded... i was thinking hd was some company that made body pieces, (didnt even think of home depot) but the roadrace gear lip is fully reinforced and doesnt deflect when at speed like many hd lips i've seen which become deformed

Home Depot lip is ghetto fablous. It gets deformed when driving at freeway speeds ( unless reinforced then its not to ghetto) Id rather just get a Si/HF lip or get a real racing one. BTW the Si/HF lip does help with airflow. That is why the HF got it. The Si and HF have less drag than a DX proving it works. Im sure the racing one works the best though and Home Depot on most "rice boys" cars dont do diddly except get bitter beer face at 65mph+

the road race gear lip is aluminum, that is why it is $300.

having a front lip on the car will lower the front end a bit, and have the effect of reducing the amount of air that goes under the car. this in turn creates less under car turbulence. you might notice something like this a bit more on an F1 car than a crx, but hey, they look cool too. i put one on to see if they wouldn't put my car on the rollers for emissions, and they wanted to test it anyway. punks.....

yeh just check out the aero dynamics results between the Si,HF, and DX the HF is the best due to lack of or rear wiper and only one mirror. The Si is better than DX due to the lip. its not much of a diff but enough to show results
