A much better option would be to do to a junk yard and see what you could piece together from other vehicles for that extra ten bucks, rather than going to home depot.
Most applications of this look pretty bad IMO, although there are a few exceptions. The one on that subie makes it look pretty cheap.

Gay. Absolutely.
If there's no lip for your car, fab something up from a different car.

I need more info on that 850 lip though! My buddy MUST get that for his 850. It's just a vinyl cove molding?

1. Cut 4" cove base down to 3" height (not easy to keep straight, but good scissors will work): Note: 3" doesn't require bracing behind the cove base -if you keep it at 4" - then you need to epoxy something metal behind the center section so it doesn't fold back at speed.
2. Apply good 2-part epoxy to the upper back of the lip and stick to car. smooth out top ridge of epoxy like caulk to make a perfect edge. You can manually hold for 30 minutes or so until it sets or use tape to suspend it.
3. Let it dry 24 hours - then paint it.My first JDM project after decades of European cars!
