I'd have to side with Adon aswell it is functional and the whole part about it being from home depot.... you can get lexan there too, i guess its the one stop shop for your bumper protection needs?

everything
Actually I like to go there to buy things for my "house", not my car ....

You guys think "it looks darn good" I think it looks like something a 16 yr old puts on his Civic DX after he's slapped his car full of APC products and Greddy stickers. Sure it saves bumpers but there are a lot more aesthetically pleasing things(like a real splitter or something hidden, for that matter) you could do. We're all entitled to our own opinion, thats mine. Happy modding!

^ we don't think it looks better than CF lips so don't be ignorant with your words, all we're saying is that it protects the bumpers better than any CF lip could and it looks decent and somewhat OEM while doing it's thing.


you guys just wait until you see my next Home Depot mod, you'll **** your pass laughing at first but once you're done doing that, you'll realize how genius it really is.
So basically a repeat of what took place here in this thread when I posted it for the first time a few years back

I'm gonna stick a sponsored by HD sticker on my ride somewhere

This actually saved my bumper twice and I do like the look.
You can bash us all you want for using garage door liner but it does the trick and is ingenuity at it's best.
I prefer the subtle look it gives the bumper, it's seems a little naked without it now.

i wonder if the company that makes this is scratching their heads as to why there is a influx of their product being sold all of a sudden lol. and to their surprise crazy folks are putting it on there car also lol. if they knew they could repackage it as a car accessory and sell it at the car shops lol

Just wanted to chip in and say that it looks great! Will be one of the first mods I do when I get the Nismo bumper. One question do, will regular scissors do the job or do I need to grab those giant ones in the gardening bucket o' tools?

+1 for the HD splitter. Hell, it's not like we have a lot of choices. Besides this one is cheap & looks great when applied correctly IMO.

Yes, yes, and yes. My brother did this mod on his 240 about a year ago and it has saved his fiberglass bumper from getting f-ed up many times...before that, he would have to repair his bumer monthly just from driveways, road debris, smurfs, etc...

I think it works for the purpose and has a good look on it, nismo bumpers are hard to come by and I'm looking to get a revised nismo bumper in fiber for my front bumper so I will be doing this to my car to save my bumper because from personal past experiences, it works.
