Heavy-duty vinyl lawn edging. Now it has a little more Craftsman Cup in it's appearance.

Nicely done. When I got my old mg it had lawn edging attached with drywall screws. Also had an ancient GRM sticker holding the air dam together

I really like the looks of that truck. What are the specs? v8 and manual RWD?

That's what the airdam on my Neon is made out of. Need it to keep the car from overheating, and it's sturdy enough to survive most rallycross events.

Now to buy another roll so I can make some side skirts.

You need JDM lawn edging for that.

Lawn edging is the best cheap appearance mod.

Put a ducktail on the topper to finish it off.

Ducktail! Believe it or not, it actually serves a purpose - it prevents water pooled above the rear window from spilling into the camper.

I feel like I'm a lot more ok with this than I should be.

Old school - we were doing this back in 1982 but it still looks good on your truck.

I bought a universal air dam kit from J.C. Whitney in 1980, it turned out to be a piece of lawn edging.

Remember when you really wanted a Kamei front spoiler for $89 but the $8 box of edging looked better to you?

This was all on for $6 at Rona. I figure that it's best to invest the money saved into tools.

Skip the side skirts, the airdam looks good.

In reply to Gearheadotaku: I disagree. When you only install the front lip, the side profile of the car looks ridiculous. The vehicle as well needs the rear bumper to match the length and height of the home brew body kit. I can find several examples, once you see it, you'll never not see it. Kinda ruins things.
