Default Ez lip was a nice, inexpensive, temporary thing


To be perfectly honest. I got the ezlip last summer because I was planing on getting a front splitter and wanted to see what it would look like on my car. And it actually looked pretty good. Held up well. And was very subtle. This was just a temporary thing. I just bought the dev sport front wind splitter and side splitter with the side winglet. It came out to $260 US for everything.
Heres a pic of what my car looked like with the ezlip

we make an ing style lip for under 200 shipped, and it's urethane so it can take on dips/scrapes without being damaged. Not necessarily what you are looking for, but an inexpensive option that can outlast your factory bumper.

Alternatively you can go to home depot and buy some garage door sealer, though I HIGHLY discourage it. Just some options.

"ezlip" or whatever you want to call it is just garage door weather stripping/sealer for the bottom of doors.

I remember when people first started with this junk and it was called the "home depot lip". Then like a year later you had these guys popping up on ebay selling this garbage for 4x the price and labelled it a universal lip.

You can find the exact same piece of foam at your local hardware store.

a flexible rubber lip helps seal the sides of any true side splitter on the car, and can assist on the front splitter as well.. common on all RWB cars, lots of actual race cars etc. Its meant to scrub the ground under braking , going up over the track sides etc.

I clicked the thread because I wanted the same thing.. ez lip is foam, and it is junk.. wish I could find something better than home depot garage door strip lol.

I know, I know...sounds like a driver's ed teacher lecturing on drinking and driving but it's the truth. IMO anyhow.
Yea.. listen to this guy. I bought a flex lip and loved the look...

I loved it until it flexed under my car and I watched it fly and hit a Jag behind me and fly into the 405....

Glad the jag guy was cool and said don't worry about it and we just kept driving. I don't think it actually hit his car he just ran it over after me.

Save your $60..
