CF lip and home depot lip

Is there a thread already on the Home Depot lip? I know about the gutter screen from there for the AC compressor, but hadn't heard of this mod, and didn't find any results from the search feature.

Thanks!

i've had the lip on my car for about 4 or 5 months now, and today, it got ripped off a bit. i scraped a snow/ice bank today while pulling into work, and it ripped the lip back. i'll post some pics tomorrow....

but yea, this lip is wicked. looks stock IMO. any questions feel free to pm me. hope it helps.

Not "needed"... but "betta" ones (as in clean ones) would be a lot nicer and more pleasant to look at!

Hey, did you get Ground Control coilovers? Did you get their conversion kit? Or did you just get their lowering springs? Was wondering because their springs aren't really made by them, per se. From what I understand their springs are made by Eibach.

Your ride looks good... but would look REALLY GOOD thus far if it were clean!
