DIY: Cheap Lip Kit?
Okay So Thanks To roggeezy for bringing this into the picture:

This is a cheap alternative to a lip kit that could provide protection for your front bumper...and hey...it doesnt look that bad at all.

What You Need:
1. Garage Deal Bottom Seal From Home Depot
2. 3m double sided tape
3. Scissors or a Razor
4. Your Car

Its Pretty Self Explanatory.... Cut The Seal To The Length You Would Like Stick on some 3m Tape And Put It On Your Bumper







on roggeezy's car:


Just thought id make a write up in case other people would like to try this out.... i may give it a shot when i get my car back from the shop... let me know what you think about it.

I guess I don't see the problem with it. Looks good to me. Rubber sturdier than foam. 3M pretty sticky but I have a tough time thinking it's gonna stay on there. You had it the snow? How long have you had it on the car?
