I think it was on this forum I saw a homebrew wooden lip/diffuser thing. It was intense. I can't find the thread, but I only looked for like a minute.

lol that last pic looks just a little photoshoped.

but im thinking about doing it with garage liner.. the black rubber piece on the bottom. if seen it on some subys.. looks half way decent.. and my fc is black so i dont think it will be that noticable..

i jsut plan on having it till i get some susspesion.

Its the same homedepot lining but mounted insideout, so it gives it that flare look.

I kinda have a feeling inside that tells me if you're wanting to put garden products on a car....you shouldn't be worrying about modifying a car to begin with. I was once a teen but, I was never desperate for a garden lining lip effect.

The 626 lip is too short on the sides. The zenki 240sx lip is the best stock lip IMO.

if done properly i dont think the garden lip is a bad thing. a lot of people use them so thye dont crack their bumpers.

i wana lower my car then put the garden lip on so i dont scratch my ****.. the roads in Mississippi suck... bad...

but trust me im no ricer... im just low on funds for the time being.


any one know a site to get replica RE amemiya parts without going broke?

bro the same amount of cash you spend at home depot for that garden crap is the same you will spend on the 626 lip or the 240sx lip

if you are low on funds why do you want re amemiya stuff ...lol

i custom fit a mazda 929 lip on my old190e 16v
Big improvement for the 190e 16v, id do it again if i had another one.

I only had to shorten it at the ends before it hit the wheels.. Maybe it will work for fc.
