home made front lip

I think I'm going to look into this myself but upon seeing your pic I need something else first....a set of springs Oh and btw, wrap those gelcoat mirrors with some CF vinyl too!
How did you install this, a nice write up could net you some rep

I was in Lowe's today myself.. Their hardware prices are really climbing.. I have thought of doing the same thing as you have done and might get around to it sometime... I have wondered if it would be possible to use some small fender washers with the self tapping screws or would they create a wavy appearance? What you have done works well on a base model in both function and in creating a lower appearance.

Basically, instead of having a bunch of screws... you use two screws to hold a piece of metal that then holds the part of the "lip" to the car. 4, 5 or 6 pieces should be able to get you around the curve of the bumper. If you want, you can do the same on the inside of the bumper to make it REALLY secure and change the screws to little nuts and bolts.
Hum, what's the point of this lip anyway? Just looks? I think it'd be kinda goofy though... at higher speeds, if a person in a neighboring car were to look at your lip, they'd see it flapping around a bit. It's "hard rubber," but it will still move to wind at higher speeds.

How about flat steel/aluminum "bars"? Say 1" or just 1/2" wide, 1/4 or 1/8" thick and of varying lengths.
