sounds interesting, may compliment the front fairly well actually, lets see how it looks...

also, the front plate holes, if you remove the rubber grommet, should be 1/2" exactly.

if you're referring to me... i plastidipped it, then i sprayed duplicolor gunmetal wheel paint over the top of that to match my wheels.

i'm interested to see how the sideskirts look as well. post 'em up!

thanks. do you mean drilling holes for the lip? i only had to add two screws. one on each end where the lip meets the fender well to keep it from drooping. the rest is held on by 3m tape.
sorry.. I meant craftsmanship

but yeah not hating on it.
I just wanna see what you have next in line..

cheap yes...but I myself wouldn't deck out my car in cheap home store products.
but that's just me.

So tell me me this..is a cheaper ply-wood spoiler better than a expensive fragile carbon fiber one?

there's a fine line between using "parts" from a home store to assit you putting an auto part on, but when your buying the "whole part" from the home store, then it's different.

I wouldn't go to auto zone if my house had problems or needed a fix up.

but hey like I said, that's just me..

but keep it up, I complimented you on your craftsmanship because some people who attempt these things make their car look horrible....in your case, it's not.
heck maybe soon we could see a whole kit from home depot.

yeah, i know what you mean. trust me, i'm not out to ruin the look of my car. that's probably the extent of my exterior mods. and i probably won't do a pvc intake tube because using a cone filter would be worse than a panel filter in the stock air box. i've got a cosworth filter coming tomorrow, btw.

haha hysterical... also wouldn't really do it but can appreciate the craftsmanship and trying something new. I like the way it looks on the white ra above. shows the lack of aftermarket support
