what can you do with a rain gutter - my new project
Another DIY project...
kinda getto...but who cares
I bought 10' rain gutter from Home Depot for $6, then cut it in half, cut out the widest sections, painted them semi gloss black, attached them to stock WRX side skirts with 6 screws. Voila!
Rain gutter - $6
Semi gloss black paint - $3
12 screws - $1
Total cost: $10
P.S. Comments are welcome, but if you don't like it and going to talk crap, go ahead and spend $300 on similar pieces.

Let the pictures talk:
