Default DIY garage-door-seal-bumper-lip-lip

I have seen this being done on a few american cars and together with a friend (owning a modded S14a) we decided to order a rubber garage door seal and try to create an extra "bumperlip" to add this little extra.

Since i couldn't find any topics of people that have done it before, i thought it might be nice to post the results here:







When we're going to fix this on the S14, we'll make a nice DIY tutorial and post this our website

Nice job
Would be great if it could fit so it was vertical rather than horizontal. Would make the car look lower without having problems with speed bumps.

I think that is possible too, but you'll need to find this garage door seal with a 90 degree angle, instead of this 45 degree angle.

I suppose it could also help to protect the underside of your splitter?

Nice
