..
Actually that's my son.. we don't sway your way.. So basically what your saying here.. you don't have any talent to slightly tweak something to fit.. just hack it off and lag bolt it is your answer.

Oh.. and buy the way.. I bought the hardtop version.. no convertable..

I'm glad I could contribute to the Forum and our cars. Like I said, I wasn't feeling good that day and spent a whole 2 minutes out there setting it in place and taking a picture. When I found it fit inside the fenders like they are designed to and close off the end like they are supposed to I knew there was no way this couldn't be massaged to fit RIGHT. I think the picture demonstrates it almost holds itself on the car. There's no tape or screws holding it in my shot, only my son supporting that one end in position.

Here's the current link to one of his auctions. The vendor has several listings. Like I say, I hit a fluke and got it for $5 shipped, but he's actually listing them for $40 shipped. Don't ask me how I got that lucky.. was just meant to be I guess..Karma.. LOL.

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

And just so some know I'm not bending u over and blowing smoke..

With no factory option for these I'd say we all got lucky..(I'd hate to see what they would price out at too reflecting on the diffuser prices) Each others creativity and discoveries being shared is what makes this Forum a great place for owners!

And that is exactly how it should be. Im going to try one of the lips, it may not be that exact one you used but 99-00 civic lips should fit so why not.

By the way xxx_fire.... why dont you just explain what you did to that civic lip you got. It will earn you a much better reputation than slandering someone who took your idea (which was bound to happen) and has a cheaper solution for the same outcome.

seems kind of messed up that you are attacking him for trying something out himself. Personally I think both your and his lip look like crap but it is not up to my opinion what others do to their cars. I am sure I have done things that people hate about my car (I keep my wing up for example haha.)

Let us know how to identify you when you get to the Toronto stage of the rally. We will come down and cheer you on.

I do find it quite depressing that the recipient of such a large sum of cash can't even spell Maserati correctly, and he will be the pilot responsible for its fate in the rally.

Even more shocking that someone who is so rude to certain folks, is able to flip the switch and become a Cheshire Cat to others long enough to convince them out of $30,000 for said sponsorship.

Perhaps I have this "working for a living" thing all mixed up.

Based on those facts... Perhaps we all do.

Agreed. And I won't tell anyone.
