This is how mine turned out while I'm waiting on my front end to come in for my black car:
Before:
After:
Hold all of the negative comments - I'm waiting on parts to come in and the entire car is going into the shop. This was to get the neighbors to shut up about the eyesore I've had up on jack stands for 2 weeks pulling an oil pan and rebuilding the top end. The bottom is braced in the back with a 2" wide thin piece of steel used for mounting gutters. Total cost was $23.XX

for the dudes with the ones that the screws are showing externally, why not use some bondo and bondo over the screws, then get a can of factory paint and clear from duplicolor and pray over the primered lip? It would look good like a real lip and cover the screws. I think im going to try this sometime soon on my spare and ill post pics back.

RedSC, it does look different from others. I like yours though. It's not the garage edging right? It looks more like the yard edging, but you just cut it a little bit; did you? Tell us what brand of edging did you use.. Hope you're willing to share.
If you did use yard edging from HD, how did you manage to bend it so that it flares out a little bit?

I don't see how doing things yourself is ghetto, We all have to make the best with what we got, spending $300-$500 is good if ur never gonna enjoy ur car. I can't stand having a pretty car and just looking at it, i'd rather be having a little fun and doing crazy **** on it, besides doing this mod doesn't make our cars one thing close to a honda, the difference with me and a honda ricer is that i know what i'm doing and that my car can look 10 times better with some DIY mods rather than their cars, Besides i hate how people think you need name brand things to make a car good, what purpose does a lip serve, nothing. It's just cosmetics, it's the same **** if u ask me, except everyones lip is different. I think the problem is that everyone wants to have their car look the same, for example, alot of ppl rock the vertex kit,which is cool but god. add a little variety, make ur car ur own please, don't just do what the last guy did. if that makes ppl hate on me, then go for it. I don't mind, cause in then end my car will be just as bad *** without the ridicolous amount of money spent on name brand parts.
