Yeah the ralliart bumper forces it to flare out. There is not much you can do there.

imho, it doesnt look too good on the ralliart. i really dont care about the home depot factor or cheap material factor, it just doesnt look right.

Idk, I kind of agree with SLC, I think it looks kinda cool. Im going to stop by home depot on the way home from class today and pick some up and see what I can do. If it doesnt look that great in person, I'll just use it on my garage door. its win-win haha I'll get pics up. Did anyone see the pic of the red SRT-4 on there forum thread? weather stripping front lip, what appears to be that stained glass window paint for yellow fogs and black spray painted rims w/ red lip. Less than $20 in stuff from home depot and craft stores and it drastically changed the look of the car for the better!

Ok so I got home and it took me all over 20+ minutes to do this, most of that was finding an x-acto knife and my trusty cardboard to sit on the driveway on haha but here are some pics from a bunch of angles.

It doesnt really hang down any lower on the sides like i worried it would so...I really like the way it looks. What do you guys think? For $9 I think it was worth it Let the complimenting/flaming begin

It almost looks like a spliter now! I was hoping it would hang straight down like on the evo. Honestly I was only going to do it for pure cosmetics, and it just isn't doing what I hoped it would.

I don't think it looks so bad you should pull it off, but now I've lost interest in it. Good job in any event.

I think for it to hang down like the on the Evo you would have to go with the softer foam kind instead of the hard rubber like I used. I'm kind of glad I went with what I did, the more I look at it the more its growing on me.

By the way, what should be the name of these things anyway? Weather strip + Front lip = Weather Lip? lol

Its wavy because you used the rubber piece. If you use the foamy piece like I used and you dont streach it to put it on, Then it will look like mine on the red Evo.
