Some pics of my ES (lots of pics!)
Here are a few pics of my ES that were taken a while back, some more recently. 
My car is kind of dirty in a few of the pics...

I can get some pics later on if you want.
All it is, is 2 1/4 inch garage door weather seal that I bought from Home Depot for about $10 for 9 feet (enough to do the front bumper; it's kind of a soft foamy rubbery material), and some 3M double sided tape, the kind with the foamy stuff in the middle. Nothing complicated, just tape it on and go!
Some people have recommended that you screw it on with some self-tapping screws, but it's fine without it. Search "home depot lip" and you'll find lots of useful threads on how to do it.

Looks clean.
I still don't get the 'block the plate' pics, but whatever.
The lip is a nice touch, looks well executed on yours, when compared to some of the abortions i have seen on the internet!
Anyways, if i had the older car with you're bumper i'd do it too. But... my 01 bumper has the flare out by the sides and this lip wouldn't work

Thanks! The home depot lip was just something I did when I was bored. It looked pretty good on some other cars, but I haven't really seen it done much on our cars.
It's a cheap mod that looks great when done right.
Just go slow, take your time, and it will look almost OEM.

Nice pics QuachmanES. I have the Home Depot lip on my whip too. It's actually saved my actual front lip from damage on several occasions. I can hear it run and it then tells me I'm close to scraping the lip off. Of course this past weekend, I hit a curb and snapped the lip vertical in half. All is saved, mended my lip back to new and is getting painted today and should have it back on tomorrow. I placed the Home Depot lip on the bottom of my front lip and on the bottom of my side skirts. IMO gives it a nice clean OEM look. I attached a pic of the Home Depot lip on my actual lower fiberglass lip. I dont have any pics with the Home Depot lip on my side skirts.

Good! I got my low beams in the other day, and they're working out pretty well. Haven't had time to get my fogs in yet though. Got some pics below.
Also, it's good to hear so many compliments on the HD lip! Gotta love cheap mods, cost about $25. Thanks everyone!
5000K HID's from HIDeXtra.
Not sure what's up with the passenger headlight... gotta mess with it when I have time.
Gotta clean my headlights too...haha.

I have HID's and mine is sort of like that too, I moved the bulb around and have new housings, left and right are different. The only thing I can think of is how the rear deflector sits and compares to the others side. I bought brand new non HID head light housings and they must have a differing reflector backing to give off a different beam pattern on the wall.
