Buy some lowering springs. It would look better with out the screws on the outside.

That looks pretty good imo. Its a lot thicker than most lips I see.

Sweet I have some of that lying up in my garage! hehehe I will give it a shot. So the push style clips you used, are they like the ones for out inner plastic wheel well lining? I'm just wondering how well it will hold up to winds and snow.... Maybe it will act like a mini snow plow if I get it low enough ;)

You should put some on the back bumper to see what it would look like. And rivot some onto the rocker panels to look like a full lip kit. Might be cool might look horrible don't know until you try.

does it bend back when your driving around or is it quite stiff?

:wave: Its quite stiff, I've been looking into doing this for a while now.Everything else i've see is just a piece of rubber and that folds up on the freeway.

what you could do, where it's round, make a slit, and slip that onto the bumper, and seal it will somthing so it will be flush against the bumper. While behind the bumper u can use screws to attach it and it wont be visible, but it's difficult to make the slit
