Default EZ Lip Splitter

Hello to all!

I wanted to try the EZ Lip universal splitter on the s2000. I had seen maybe one photo of it somewhere.
The material is a flexible rubber that conforms to your bumper, or lip. The adhesive is 3M.
I personally wanted a lip protector for my oem lip. With the car being lowered and all, scrapes will happen from time to time underneath.
As you can see in one of my photos.


I used alcohol to wipe under the lip(or bumper)
scissors to cut excess trim. simple.

I like it! Looks better than the Home Depot garage door option. How tough is the rubber? Do you think it'll hold up ok over time?

rubber seems great and flexible, since its 3m adhesive, it should hold up well. You could also go even further and use screws if you wanted to. But for me 3m should hold just fine.

plywood seems the way to go... stiff, easy to cut, cheap, and proven.

honestly if you are scraping already, i would assume you would probably scrape this off anyways?

Time will tell. I scrape every now and then, depends where I drive though, this is not my dd. but at least I won't be scraping my paint, which is all I care about at this point.

To each their own. I ran into ezlip browsing through other non s2000 forums. I've heard of the DIY many times. Im sure their many types of garage seals. I'm more then
happy to pay the extra $10-12 to have someone make it for me, and delivered to my doorstep.
Some people like to pay over $300 for an apr splitter. Others like to do their own replica for hardly much. I totally understand your point.
