Homedepot front Lip...looks decent enough for a $10 mod.

Painted Engine cover and battery cover.

****EDIT****
I took off the front lip. The drivers side half looked really good but the passengers side didnt set very well and curled a little.

Hey C,

You should swing buy and let me see the lip. I am trying to convince the wiff to let me do it.

Cesaros · Postby **Cesaros** » Sat May 09, 2009 9:14

ok, im actually redoing it right now...trying to make it look a little better than before

***EDIT***
It was about 1 1/2in too short this time...im not spendin any more money on that stuff for now..haha..you really have to get it right the first time or it doesnt look right or doesnt fit.

thread jack!

my HD lip, double heavy duty outdoor tape holding it up just fine so far

mine held up fine to highway winds...but had to redo twice cause it wasnt fitting right...and the ends looked a little funny

mine curled really bad too after like a week. had to re do like five inches of double sided tape on each end

there is a How-to writeup on mazdaforum. google search "Home Depot Lip Kit"

you'll be surprised what its made from. If you do it correctly and dont mind fixing it every once and a while, it looks really nice...i funked mine up so i have to retry maybe next week :6ff4efab:

When I get more paint, ill be doing the fuse box and maybe one more thing (dont want to overkill on the red)
Once I get my CAI it'll balance the black to red ratio a bit more since its flat black
