Yep...

My only gripe is that it's only 1.75" in height. I'm not sure how this would look on a piggy S13.

Oh aite thats better. Looks like Im going searching on HD tomorrow. Cheap and easy for now.

I think 1.75" is tall. Won't it be hitting the parking post at the parking lots next to the sidewalks?

OEM lip should look better on Kouki. This Home Depot lip is too plain for Kouki. This v2 Home Depot lip is good for s13 or s14 zenki IMO.

yeah i see what you mean, but i'm not a big fan of the little holes on the side of the oem lips. The jdm Greddy lip for my kouki doesn't have any of the holes/air vents and looks really clean but its like 300 bucks. I've seen these homedepot lips done right like the one above and done without much attention to detail, and I think it wouldn't look half bad on a kouki IMO.

1.75" didn't sound tall enough for me either, but it looks tall enough in the pic.You guys think the lip would look better black or painted? I think it would look pretty nice painted..

I wonder if this would work as a low budget side skirt... Any volunteers?

[spooled240]

it'll be pretty damn flimsy for a sideskirt but might not look that bad, i'm not trying it tho lol

[s14tan]

^ I bought the 6ft strip like a dumb *** thinking that it would fit my bumper but, I fitted it as a side skirt and it looks like it would work... and doesn't look bad IMO.

Ima do it and post pics when the weather is good.

So your saying I gotta look for a big roll of this stuff?

[s14tan]

anyone?

Nose goes!!!!

[stopatnothing]

I'm surprised zilvia didnt ban you for not getting Tenzo R parts...

[Chris28]

Wait...I might be missing something, but wouldn't it look a lot better if it wrapped around and also was put under the fenders like the real piggy lip? It could be just that no one has taken pics of it on yet, because it would like really bad if it just stopped where the bumper stopped.

[s14tan]

Nose goes!!!!

Ima try it and take some pics since I have a 6ft strip laying around maybe tomorrow when I get out of school.

\Dont worry S14tan, i did the same thing. Bought the 6ft one and I get home and find out its not long enough. I felt retarded. But I cant seem to find anything longer than the 6ft one.

[boosteddet]

wow that's a good way to set the budget. Good write up

did you get a chance to try it out? im kinda curious how it'll look.

[s14tan]

Sorry guys it rained all yesterday you can never predict Texas weather... but hopefully I get some pics for you guys soon WML.

Im with TrueVillan, HD only carries the 6ft strip I can seem to find the roll....

[spooled240]

hey how about those lawn borders? those are pretty tall and come in a large roll but idk how you would mount it. I don't think it has those triangle thingamajigs to screw them into your bumper, etc....just throwin some options out there lol

[s13hybrid]

The subaru guys have been using garage door sealer strips (the hard rubber stuff, frost king I think)

[s14tan]

the weather was nice to day, crappy pics but you get the idea......

it looks ok..

links don't work.

[s14tan]

**Fixed**

[spooled240]

ey it looks better than I thought but it looks a tad too short/thin IMO. But hey, it's a cheap solution lol

[s14tan]

yeah if it was a lil longer it would look better but hey 7 bucks.... not bad for a side skirt IMO.

[aldren240]

nice ima check it out at home depo

[DropTop240]

i did it to my chuki with the holes that are already in the bumper, no drilling no stabbing or anything just a wrench and some patience and it came out pretty nice indeed.

ok heres the part where i try to post pics and probly screw up.......

heres the pathetic b4 pic that i didnt take my time on cuz i wanted to get wrenchin

[ghx407]

They don't sell the Diamond-Loc in PR Home Depots, so I bought two strips when I went to Florida over Christmas. I think it looks real good; as far as bolt-on lips go, only the Xenon lip looks better IMO. Sorry about the dark pics...
