Hey, im wondering if you can use leftover lawn edging to make a lower grill block.

the width of the lawn edging appears to be the same width of the grill opening.

Can you post a close up of your lawn edging for me please? I'm not too sure how I want to connect it yet

I was thinking the same thing, and if I like it, it can get fiberglassed in. .

This is exactly how I mounted mine, and the same exact brand of lawn edging. I only bought the 20ft roll though.

When I made my front air dam (before I lowered my car), it made a very significant difference in my FE. I'll search for the link if you'd like.

when I put mine on my civic the lawn edging was flipped compared to the picture. I put it on using self-tapping screws and if the screws are hidden the air dam looked stock on my white civic
after I posted this picture I cut it a few inches because it was sticking out too far by cal98's recommendation

Yea I really need to cut mine as well. It scrapes on the smallest bumps and it's taking heavy damage from the few bumps I hit on a daily basis.

WUSSYS!!!! Nothing is more fun than to scrape. I love idling behind people, then as I approach them hit a bump and SCRAPE scaring the crap out of them.

I get some nasty looks when I scrape, I just smile and wave.

Hard core! And eoc'ing, all they get to hear is the scraaaaaaapppppee! I'm in.

So, the consensus is that the"fat part" goes on the bottom? Ok. tomorrow will be a great day, my fellow ecomodders! My buddy in Franklin Park (Chicago)likes the air dam idea, and gave me a cool side skirts idea! I'll be sharing more with pictures after I get home and chop up a little lawn edging

You can't get 4" just from springs. You'll hit the a-arms at 3.5, the tie rods at 4.5". If I get some time I'll dump the air out of the bags and show you what 4 looks like (I'm currently at +1 because of the roads around here).

You're much better off fixing the airflow issues underneath than blocking the air. No clearance issues, and it'll be quieter. Take the extra few hours and do a pan.
