different home depot lip

so i had the garage door lip on for a while and it started getting messed up so i decided to make myself a new lip that was a little more durable and i think looks better
i went to home depot and got some wall base and some metal that is used for roofing that is a right angle and pretty thin but durable
first i cut little triangles out of the top part of the metal so i could bend it

then i started to bend it to the shape of the bumper

after i got it all bent, i drilled holes in the top like every forth little tab , then screwed it tto the bottom of my bumper with little 3/4 inch particle board screws, they were just short enough where they wouldnt go all the way through the existing lip

then i took the wall base and cut it down to 3" thick with a razor blade, and the back of the wall base has adheasive on it that is pretty sticky and i just went around from one side to another and stuck it on.
here is the final product

Remove license plate hole plugs
Remove grenade sticker
Remove evo mod

And you must know what else I would want removed.
Clean that thing up!

Should of used cardboard and a garden hose......

It doesn't look to bad. But I'm going to be kind and go with its a 20 footer. Get Any closer and it might not look so great.
Not for me. Looks alright on your car thou. Mod how you like. Right

Maybe you should have used that 20$ and bought your self some staples and fixed that nasty crack in your drivers side bumper... Or have you already sourced that out with flex seal??

Added fuel mileage FTW, BUT, this is something I would do to my Civic. Which I think I am going to do.

I guess I'll chip in too. I like your car! The eyelids, black roof, evo mod, but i think the lip is a bit too long...either that or its because it's flat black. But I still find it cool! And its different so way to go lol
