I know this has been done before, but I was able to get one for three bucks,including the dollar to get in the yard, so I figured I would post it up.
It wasn't a bad install, the main issue was cutting off all the plastic snap on tabs on the back of the lip. Once that's done,it lines up pretty well.
I had found one with half the lip missing, and I was lucky enough to find the other half about ten cars away.
I need to do a bunch of body work on the bumper again,as I had hit a dog at about 70, the bumper is physically fixed, but needs cosmetic work is all.

I'm probably going to change the grill to black, and I'm going to lengthen the lamp wires to clean them up, as far as putting on the lip, I used about eight long throat vise grip clamps to clamp it, then drilled all the holes for the screws
