amazing what you can do with bathroom supplies

I just added the black rubber piece to the bottom of my front end. It cost me $6. I used the splash stuff they use on the floors of a bathroom. I really like it. Thought I'd share it.

I bet it will help at higher speeds, and since it is not only cheap, but also flexible, contacting the ground will just "adjust" it a little.

lol we did this to a couple cars here, honestly i think it's pretty f-in sweet. really changes the look of the front end for less than 10 bucks. gives it that "track car" look and i agree, very very nice 7

HOLY ****! With the widebody, I think I AM starting to like S1 bumpers... I always thought they belonged to some old econobox... They actually remind me of the classic Porsche look...

Damn. Hadn't driven the car since I did this mod. (Friday night) I put in a new stereo system, new bucket seats and am fabbing a rear seat from scratch, so I worked on it all weekend.

Anyway....on the way to work this morning (Monday) I went over a speed bump and tore this stuff in 2 places. I barely even scraped too. bathroom supplies is out. Gonna have to find something a little tougher.

with that car I would avoid all speed bumps at all costs, nothing is worse then wrecking and expensive body kit because of hitting a bump
