Ummm wow.. I wasn't sure about that at first, but to be honest, i think it looks pretty good. And perfect for anyone short on the cash haha.
I would definitely do that to my civic, but I don't know if I could get that thing painted silver to match the bumper.
I like it from far thoughh

see the funny thing is, my friends are all split up over it.

the BMW/euro guys hate it
The mustang guys love it. (hence the mach1 chin spoiler big deal)
corvette guys hate it
Tuners and myself think its not bad at all.

i wish it was a paintable material. someone could make some bucks off that.

yeah for reall. If I could get that painted silver, i'd be all over that. I mean, it would cost like $40 and takes such little effort to install. AND it won't scratch or crack.

if i get bored while im back home working on my brothers car ill mock something up to give you guys a taste of it. the one thing i like about it, is that its similar to a regular unpainted lip in pictures, but if you curb it, or run over a rock or something that would normal KO your lip or bodykit this is easily and cheaply replaceable.

maybe i will also look into painting the pieces and durability.

idk this is an interesting topic and i want to definitly delve deeper into it. some say rice, some say HOT. but in the end its whoever is driving the car who really needs to care about it.

yeah to be honest, my car aint gonna be no show car. I just want it to be different than any other car, but keep her nice.
And from another car, the garage piece lip wouldn't look any different, but I don't wanna go with black on my silver car. I'd rather go with silver.
And this is interesting haha. I would have never thought about that. And to be honest, i would have never thought that would have looked decent.
