Lip on SS/SC

Here ya go, i was thinking of getting some sealant to go between the body and the stripe, to hide some of the ghey taping, and to make it stick better, whatcha think?

Sorry bout the dirty car

I started from the middle and worked my way out cutting about 10" strips of tape at once and going slow. I think it looks good, our bumpers are hard cause they curve...

I like it. Wonder how it'll hold up to constant wear and tear, but gotta be better than a CF lip's durability. Good job, you and Super_SS

Wowz, I've got a friend up in Chicago. He says the potholes get rediculous up there. I can't imagine how anoying it is to drive with a lowered car.

it looks good SSupercharged. i kinda like the cut -off look on the the ends. i tried to make it wrap into the wheel wells and it looked good for the first month now i notice it kinda bulging but it hasn't came loose yet. i may redo it it right beore the winter and cut it off on the ends like you did. i found the easy way to apply it was to put the double sided tape on the lip first then slowly and carefully press it onto the bumper. once finished apply pressure from below to make sure the tape stuck. i left some slack on the sides so i could taper ithem into the wheel wells. taking the bumper off would make it a lot easier but having to take the bumper off is a project in itself on my car.

srt 4's do look scary as hell all done up with large intercoolers in them. the only thing with doing that lip on an ss/sc is now the front looks alot lower than the sides and rear which looks odd

will that stuff let you flip it over so instead of extending down farther it covers the under side of the lip? My lip is so scraped up underneath. I'd rather scrape on an easy piece to replace.

And please, save the "learn how to drive" BS that I know is coming.
