thats more like a valence than a lip of any sort, but it is universal for a reason, expect to do work to get it done and you still might not get it right lol

Ha! I'm still rocking the Home Depot lip, and in person 9 times out of 10 people say it looks real good and ask where I got it. I'd like to try something else, but the home depot helps with scraping on driveways.

it would be difficult to get someone to make a fiberglass mould and actually make one but there would have to be enough interest.

Done Right: (Notice the conformity and uniformity around bends and curves...)


Done WRONG: (Notice how its not uniform all the way around, flaring out near the end of the bumper, and curves back down and almost under the bumper around the corner/bend...) I know it's an SRT-4, but it happens on lancers too. I didnt want to use anyones on the site incase it offends someone.

I did it was well for a couple days lol. didn't look too bad, but the corners curve from the bend of the bumper and i find it got misshapen just from the wind pushing against it. Anyway, it flew off on the highway when I was driving from Halifax to New Brunswick hahaha.

I'd love to have another option for a lip. shipping to Canada for the FG lip from RRM is almost as much as the lip itself
