I'd like to try the home depot lip. I'll probably be using lawn edging and rivet it in about 10-12 different places along the bumper. Should hold it in place pretty well.

That is dam ggood Idea I think I will be on my way to Home-Depot today. But U could always make a 92-95 EX lip work on your car too . I know you said not stock but hell the 92-95 REX lip is very plentful and way easy to find. Ghetto lips kick ***!!!

When you use the lawn stuff go and buy some fiberglass bondo and mold the sucker on.

Umm, you could always buy an Si hatch factory lip from your local dealership. It's not the most aggressive lip, but they don't look too bad...

I had some Home Depot Side Skirts on my old Gti that i put big bumpers on, I think they came out great but i'm not sure if it'd be easy to pull of on a honda now.

Yep, it's back in the flooring dept. Comes in 4 ft sections or in a big roll. I got 2 4ft sections and spliced them together, so theres a split right in the middle, but not bad at all. Wrap it around and trim off the left over.

that looks good but personally i don't like the way it sticks out at the sides of the bumper. i looked through the garage and i think i found the same stuff just lying there still rolled up untouch. my dad probably bought it and never got to use it. he he he...hope he doesn't get mad if he notices a few feet are missing.

oh yeah what do you mean by splicing them together so theres a split in the middle?? you cut two lengths then stuck them together??
