Default DIY LIP / Home depot lip results on a 97+ front End

hey guys just wanted to show you guys what ive been up to, my car is still under construction but nearly done. but ive had some time to mess with it and i decided to make a DIY lip. i was a bit skeptical at first, but materials only cost $21 total, so might as well give it a try. so far its not completely done but most of it it, its mounted and all. my next steps are to trim it, sand it, fill it and then finally paint it.

my first thoughts of it as of now are the curves, im not sure how to get around it, but i might just drill those parts a little slanted, it evens it out more

(yes garage is DIRTY lol, ive been doing alot little projects lately)
(and sorry for the horrible quality, New phone hasnt came in yet)

overall for what i spent i think its looks fairly decent (its not 100% done of course)

lmk what you guys think , or how u think i can improve it

thanks!

It's wiggly because it isn't straight and equal distance of the two lines when you are running the lip down the front. (yes descriptively it's as obvious as it sounds) You are trying to match up two lines. When they are equal, it won't be wiggly. If that is as best you can get it, I'd just take it back off. Otherwise, keep trying!

that gap is huge

IMHO, you didnt need 4 screws at the center and shoulda just used tape and 5 screws spread out

haha yea the gaps ticking me off to. i tried using double sided tape but it wouldnt hold, but if i turn the curves towards the bumper it acutally starightens out, just gota drill it in and its good, i know its not perfect and it was expected when i started, just a short term little lip for the time being and it was sort of a time passer
