I dunno wtf u guys are talking about but that looks pretty decent to me....I bet you if i didnt tell you it was a Gardening product from home depot, and that it was some big name company, you guys would be all over it. Just cause its not some big name company and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, doesnt mean it cant look good. This is not the first time ive seen this mod before as they have been doing this on maxima.org for like 10 years now....

I don't see a problem with it, like the other guy said, if you didn't know its a garden trim, u will be all over that **** too.
but I guess most of us can't justify putting something cheap onto a lexus, infiniti or anything that's not a daily/track beater.
whatever that guy did on his G35 looks GREAT, too bad I already have different type of lip on my G35 coupe, otherwise I would have done it too.
2jzSoarer's lip looks badass, that's all I'm going to say.
Look at my track beast

I actually try doing it. I didn't really mount it, but tape it up, cable tie it up just to give me an idea on how it looks. I did the soft garage seal, not the hard one. The soft one is looks alot better and it's easier to work with. Plus, if anything goes wrong, just get another one from home depot. Under 20 bucks. And it helps prevent scratching up your bumper. However, there are two problems. The color is dull black. I own a black 97 sc3 so i was thinking i should apply something glossy to make it look oem or at least matching. Maybe tire shine? lol just a though. Second problem would be the noise. My friend actually did it and when we drive on the highway, the bottom portion will start flopping, because it's soft. We figure out how to fix that problem. But the top of the seal and the bottom of the bumper, if you can visual it, there is a slight space in between, so you will have to double tape it up to eliminate a whistle noise. That's all i know so far. But they do look very nice and subtle if you do it right. Similar to the g35 picture. Some tsx drivers do it. Some bimmer guys. Some sti guys too. I seem alot of them before i decided to try it. I still didn't have it mount up perfectly. I just need a nice day and some free time.

that g35 (garage sealer) one doesn't look bad at all,
the garden one with the rivets or whatever, definetly looks a little ghetto for a clean street car, i don't have a problem seeing it on a track car though..

problem with the tire shine is that it will collect dust since it's sticky. .
Here is the tsx with the garage door seal lip. pretty nice.![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
