I just used tape for the middle section of my lip. I did two rows of 3m 1/2" tape (could use one strip of 1") all the way across the 'mouth'. Just kame sure it's nice and clean, so the adhesive sticks well.

Put 2 bolts underneath on both ends and a small screw into the side that wraps into the wheel well area. As for the center, put on a lot of 3M tape & also onto to the body center where you would think the lip will adhere to... of course 3M tape on each side too!

yup ebay under 100 shipped and delivered in 1 day. i like mine. its very flexible. you can fold it in half and hit it with a hammer. the parts are perfect from ebay the cheap ones just get wraped like crap and are easily damaged in shipping. i popped out a dent in my duraflex bumper with a hair dryer that shipping induced. and the lip can be easily messaged. the part is so cheap you can just buy one to test it. then if you like it a lot you can save a couple hundo for one that will need less work to make streight.

I've had mine for 3 years. Fit nice and snug, took a few good beatings, and only broke a month ago because I went through a big dip and didn't pay attention. So $100.00 bills for 3 years, I'd say not bad!




Now do I think it still looks "good"
Not really, I think it looks like a snow plow
But to each his own
