Sometimes the cool little things are the more simplistic. Nice.

I guess I don't see the problem with it. Looks good to me. Rubber sturdier than foam. 3M pretty sticky but I have a tough time thinking it's gonna stay on there. You had it the snow? How long have you had it on the car?

The luda lip, to me anyways looks completely different than what this guy did. Might be the same product used, but not the same effect.
I agree with the luda lip not looking good, but this ones different

I was bored one day, and I decided to try it out since I dont have the money to shell out on a lip kit. To me it didnt turn out too bad, it looked alot better than just having the sharp cut-off of the stock 4th gen front bumper. I'll admit, it doesnt really serve my car (or rather ex-car) any purpose, but to some lowered cars or cars with low ground clearance because of their kits, then it would protect the their bumpers/kits around the edges. The material is very durable, and the 3m double sided automotive adhesive holds like no other. I know this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to your own opinions, but yall dont have to be such sarcastic a55holes about it.

from 2004 :meanwhile i'm working on my 97+ convertion i wanna add a lip to make it stand out more. originally i was gonna go with stillen lip and just get it painted... but ionic CF lip looks nice too, plus i don't need to paint it, and CF lip will match with my car body color really well. (IMO). then lately ludacris has his "luda lip" (aka home depot lip)... it's cheap but IMO it looks pretty good...
so which lip should i purchase?
check out the thread
help me decide: stillen front lip, ionic CF lip, or luda lip?
