long story short...so my dad bought the "ez-lip" on ebay for his corvette. The fitting was too short so he decided to throw it away. I said hey if your planning to throw it away, let me see how it would look on my car. before anyone decides to make fun lol, I do not intend to keep it permanent. Putting on this lip was for experimental purposes and for fun and laughter.
Well here is how the "lip" looks on my car.
tell me what you guys think =)

"Nothing says, 'I'm broke but still trying.' like a home depot lip." I don't remember where I saw that quote for the first time but it perfectly explains the "home depot" lip
As for me, I made myself four of these:
How the fit underneath the car:
They're not perfect but I'll finish them up some other day.

i had 17 inch vsxx, i honestly thought it looked small on the car so i sold it. i was pretty low that time to make it look nice.
I test fitted the lip i picked up. waiting on double sided tape to put it on =)
