Check out this lip (Home Depot $10 lip for the Evo)
Hey guys... check out this red Evo in this picture.... What lip is that on the car?
Well, It's the Home Depot $10 dollar lip. I think it looks decent for the cost, plus you don't have to worry about cracking/scratching it. Everyone who see's my car loves it.
If you guys wanna try it out and see how you like it, then here's the instructions on how to put it on. Only thing is, in the directions, they say to nail or screw it in, and I didn't do that cause I don't want the holes in the bumper. And mine has been through rain, 150mph rolls, and is just as sturdy as the day it was put on.
Here is the How To (From Srtforums.com)

Step 1:
Go to Home Depot!
Step 2: Get Garage Door Bottom Seal, i think they come in 9 ft packs, one will be enough, 2 if u think u will mess up (part #03749)(also notice that there is a foam type and a hard rubber type, i prefer the foam) and a two sided double stick tape that is preferably black, lots of tape, lol (less is seen when black)
Step 3: Place Double stick tape On smaller edge of weather striping.
Step 4: Clean bottom surface of bumper to apply lip. The take off top cover on tape to prepare it to stick on bumper. When putting the lip around the bumper, make sure it sits flush, some like it back more, but i like it flush. Go slow and make sure to get the tape to stick evenly, any extra weather stripping, just cut off flush at the end of the bumper:
Step 5 (optional): I put screws in mine just for saftey, but its not needed, but i suggest it. Put a small screw vary on size depending on person along bottom edge on lip into bumper. I used some washers so it had more area on the lip. Make sure to put the screws back far enough that you wont put a screw out the front of the bumper. I put one about every 4-5 inches.
And step back and compare to a car with a real lip, aka, the 520hp 515ft/lbs termanator!

Looks nice and smooth, and conforms to the shape of the car. I thought it would be wavy since it comes in a roll. I guess the foam relaxes after you take it out of the bag.
