^Why not? if it protects your bumper from scrapes then +1...only problem is that I've yet to see a piece of plastic wide enough so that it would be a "visible" lip

actually i think you would scrape more if you have one of these lips, since clearance would be lower...and worse things can when that happens
i personally just don't think it would look right because of the curvature of the lower portion of the bumper. they don't look half bad on some other cars and looks great on others (evo, sti) but i don't think it looks good on the SC. but if you can get it to work, that would be awesome

what i meant was that the plastic lip would protect the paint from the bottom of the bumper, paint cost money...home depot lip doesn't cost as much.
the lip on that green SC is definitely not what I had in mind. I saw someone putting a garage door seal that is no more than 5 cm in height

in that case, you better bubble wrap your car because it's also cheaper than repainting your car... lol j/k
I dont think home depot and car should go together in a single sentence.

That thing is a huge POS. I saw it at a meet and it was one of the worse condition cars I've ever seen. Don't do it.

Drift cars are hardly ever in "show car" condition. I'd rather see a drift car with dents on it than one with just clean paint, wheels, and a bunch of stickers.
