No, its not. Make your own lip design, then make a mold, then lay fiberglass, and see if you dont feel its worth $80

Well then logic would com into play here. If you dont want to spend money, then dont run a lip.

YES
that is what they're saying
that is how much front lips cost
if you dont like it, too fucking bad, maybe graduate and get a real job if you cant afford an 80 dollar lip. it should take you less than a day to make that much money

I spent $180 on a PDM lip a couple years back, its destroyed now, but i liked it for the time being. I have a few pignose lips i got for cheap now. and I'll be be buying a xenon (`$250) lip soon.

So yes.

you have to pay to play.

If $80 is such a waste, then DON'T RUN A LIP.

Seriously kid, you're making this more difficult then it should be.

If you're worried about parts being stolen, don't buy new parts. Leave you car stock, or sell it.

If that doesn't suit you,then figure out a way not to get your stuff stolen and stop using that as a crutch to be a cheap skate.

If you're just looking to DIY something, then good for you. DIY'ing just for the experience is awesome. However, don't preface it with some BS about aftermarket lips being too expensive, and then quote $80. That's where you ran into a brick wall here.

You want DIY motivation?

Xenon lip is the only way to go.

Properly making your own lip will cost more than $80. I don't even know where you would plan on getting a lip for $80 (pig nose I guess). Fiberglass = FAIL for a front lip with any decent drop.

Seriously man, Not trying to hate but really $80 isn't THAT much.

you will most likely end up spending $20-30 bucks for a DIY lip anyway that won't look that good.

But yes like they said use garden edging or i think the rubber part that goes below a garage door can work too, or even go to Lowes,Ace,Home Depot,etc and walk around maybe you will find something.

I always found green garden hose to be quite effective...or or wait, what about that awesome bright orange air line yesss, victory, just steel some from your dad kid...fail when you consider how much better a lip makes your car look, your an idiot for bitching about price...hate to bash but...retard
