Other than the fact I can see the rivets or whatever you used to mount it, it does look good.

can't wait to get ahold of some pics of why i did this and
the "prpose" for it,.... as for people that look at it as a
styling upgrade its not :hammer: , this is an addition
to "functional" performance,......

when i find pics of cars on the road course circut (professional and amautre)
using this type of upgrade then you can all see why, you ask
what is the funciont & purpose behind it? it serves the purpose to
pass majority of created "lift around the car as oppose to underneath.

as for why i used this particular material?
just like anybody who runs the courses, tell me, would you rather loose
over $200 - $300 on an aftermarket lip that even sits that low to serve
its propose on a the candy cane or turtles on the circuit OR something that
is as flexible and that won't crack at all and that also cost me a toral of $9 canadian?

plus IMO i think it looks tougher than the oem ***** lip that to me serves such utter minimal performance but to strighten the edge out of the bumper as the oem lip sits literally as low as the bumpers lowest area.

thanks for all your critisizm, and thanks to all those "functionally" understand me.

f.y.i. - if you haven't noticed for all you styling lovers, the car isn't a show car or anything remotely looking to be one (that is even if you've seen other pics of the car) - do a search.

So how did you attach it? Can it be attached under the bumper so you dont see the hardware, im guessing no cause it will have a tendancy to flip up, unless you attach it from the back.

You wana make a DIY article for this

I personally think it looks like hell.

This reminds me of the rich kids I went to high school with. They would wear dirty shitty jeans so people would think they were "from the streets".

My .02. Other than that "thing" I think you car is nice Jeff.

What I think makes it look "like hell" is the mounting job.

"Jeff, you could have done a cleaner job"

But I've seen very clean "Home Depot Racing" front lips.

Matt, if you want to do one, I can give you a hand with it.
I know a way to mount it so it looks super clean.
You can measure out my hatch on the same day!
