Home depot lip. Hasn't been painted yet, but it makes a big difference, especially for less than $20. I did the front lip and side-skirts. It adds 2.5in.

thanks

Lots and lots of cheap mods..... looks like someone ransacked you're car with a can of spray paint and other cheap stuff you find around your house. You have a good idea but poor execution.

lol. Thanks for your opinions guys. Unlike a lot of people I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on lips and sideskirts that will probably end up getting damaged.

Care to elaborate, roggeezy?

I appreciate quality when I see it, and I just don't see any. Granted we all try to do something "new" and "cheap" with your car, I even did the Luda-lip a while back, but you can't even say the luda-lip looks decent with all the ripples and uneveniness of the lip. I just think instead of trying to imitate the "look" of being "lower", why not just put some springs on and go lower?

in the end, it's still your car and you shouldn't let other people's opinions influence how you wanna mod your car.

I must have used a different lip than you, because mine is pretty damn straight, all around. Especially the sides. Looking at the pictures, there are shadows and stuff that make it look imperfect, but I can assure you it looks amazing in person. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it, until the last few posts in this thread. I'm saving up for air suspension and the lip/skirts are just tiding me over until I get the air suspension installed.

If there's anything else you think could be improved, feel free to let me know. I'm looking for constructive criticism.

Led Strips healight in BLue

I am not sure if it is low brightness side-emitting leds or bright waterproof version, just think about that it seems not so bright enough. bUT I like the blue color. looks nice,good . I will upgrade mine to be brighter sooon.

Your car looks good! I see there are a few people who are hatin on your car, although its not the pinnacle of craftsmanship. The creativity is what I appreciate in cars and if you pull it off and it looks awesome and different then BOOM!

But if it doesn't end up looking too good, the creativity is what counts... to me. I also have been wanting a lip kit for my car, but I can't justify spending that much on a kit that will potentially get damaged. Although, if someday I have a couple hundred laying around with nothing better to do, then I might jump on it.
