I did it on my old car (honda prelude). I took it off after a month or two. It looked cheap and tacky. I got the garage door weather stripping thing from home depot.

Looks pretty cheap IMO. I would say dont do it! I think that web page shows close ups and no distance shots for a reason...

I would just get a gfx lip or some aerotech cf splitters if your looking to switch the front end up a bit. Prices are pretty reasonable if budget is an issue.

Lmfao. $35 for the kit...

It's like $8 for the strip from home depot. $5 for the double sided tape.

I tried it for a month a few months ago, but it tears/scars/damages easily in a couple of days. Not worth it, and it is a PITA to take off.

Hello everyone, looks like there is confusion about the product we offer. Me and my team sell the EZ Lip and have been doing so for over a year now with thousands of satisfied customers. Our ebay feedback will confirm.

The first thing I would like to say is that this product is NOT found in ANY hardware store - GUARANTEED. I will admit, that in the beginning, we sold the Home Depot garage seal manufactured by Thermwell Products. After many buyers complained about the flimsiness of the material (imperfections in the rubber, and flapping around in the wind), we decided to find the best material we could in order to offer the best quality rubber lip. I'm not sure if its true for the rest of the United States, but here in the Pacific Northwest, Lowes changed their MD Products garage seal in late 2010, to one that does NOT work with the 3M tape. In fact, Lowes doesn't even offer the highest quality double-sided 3M tape.

We are so certain that you will like our product that we even offer a full money-back guarantee.

For those of you who have been buying from us, I would like to thank you for your business and mention that we will continue to offer the best available lip for the lowest price. If there is anything we can do to ensure top customer satisfaction we are ready to listen and here to help!

Hmm seems like the company took an interest in our community. I'm sure this is a good quality product for some people, but if you read few post back you will notice that most of our members (to include me, and sorry for speaking for everyone guys) here are more into the luxury side of our vehicles than the actual sportiness. I'm sure this would be a great product on my '93 Honda Civic (if I still had it), but since I dropped over 20k on my used IS, I think that day I realized doing "cheap" mods to it would not fly. Lexus is not just a brand of cars, it is also a status symbol for some. Now, if you can come up with something that looks good on an IS, then you might find yourself as an official vendor here Well on that you would need to talk to the important people here I'm just another member :P
