**Not Slow Speed Internet ready -> a few pics**

This is my "Home Depot" Lip DIY Version 2.0
(1 long garage door seal cut it half and sicked together upside down)


I used Double-side tape with plastic door trim cut flat and sicked it to the bottom of the lip edge to stiffen it.


Test Fitting to see how it looks


DIY Front Lip complete. ... I wonder though if vinyl lettering would stick to the rubber ... if it can maybe I will add a cool vinyl sticker to it.

I took the idea of this new style Lip from here:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1526863 (Credit goes to NASIOC Fourm user Mobutusan, for Front Lip Version II)

See where my Falkin logo is, I'm thinking of blacking out the white area there with black matte vinyl ?!? make the front look more agressive, what you guys think?
Next Project... DIY "Home Depot" style side skirts... might try paint the rubber as well, maybe plasti Dip spray paint will work!?!

Does the lip help fuel economy or is it just cosmetic?

Cosmetic, it might also save the bottom of your bumper if you bottom out.
