I looked at this material at Home Depot today and was expecting a more rigid, solid rubber piece. It's very thin rubber on the outside and foam rubber inside. It just didn't seem very sturdy, like it would probably just blow backwards and not provide much of an air dam type effect at highway speeds. Has anyone found this stuff in a solid rubber version?

I just did some quick research on Amazon and it looks like even the stuff that is sold specifically as a "DIY Lip" is the exact same thing as the garage door weatherstripping. Someone asked about using it on the sides and rear and there's actually a pic of that application here:
I do really like the way it looks though, so I think I'm going to go ahead and put some on.

will try and post pics at 60mph once i get it on.
I went ahead and installed it a while back using 3M outdoor adhesive tape. I think it really adds to the look of the front. I've found that it also provides some protection for the bottom of the bumper. I've scraped it a few times and it roughed up the rubber material a little (still looks fine though unless you really look at it closely), but protected the painted bottom of the bumper. It's also a little stiffer once you bend it around the contours of the bodywork. All in all I think this is a fantastic bang for the buck mod!
