scshinobi - i'm not trying to be the least bit insulting, but i don't really like it.. maybe the way it's lined up?? i dunno it just seems like a flat flimsy foam piece hanging from your bumper?

i tried it on my SC as well and with my older style bumper it seemed even harder to get lined up right so i just junked it

Dude it's called the Home Depot lip, not the lowes lip. lol go to home depot, and ask for double sided tape, it shoul be a red one, i used two whole tapes and a few screws. Again, i know i promised pics but im in summer session at school and have been buried in homework, but i promise some pics today.

Pls when u do this dont forget to put plates to hold it...
I did a custom plates to hold them in place
Double sided tape to hold it for you, then plates with screws.
I'm just lazy to take pics, but I will soon, that way when you are running
like 80mph on the freeway it won't move.
Have the lip since I posted with no problems!

I did 120mph with just double sided tape and nothing happened, it was a test run. The screws are just there for peace of mind.

Kinda hard to see the screws since i painted over them. as for a pic from under, its gonna be hard since my car is low and i dont have a jack. I'll see if i can borrow my friend's and ill take an under shot.

dude use the double sided tape and do it on the lower front of the bumper, ur doing it from the bottom which is why it looks weird. also, let me see a pic of the material ur using as a lip. That could be the reason too.
