Idk I got garden edging but you gotta cut 75% of the loop and trim the other end. I haven't started yet. I haven't decided with what to use to cut the loops. Maybe a circular blade for my drill. It's annoying though b/c the edging always curls up so you have to keep it steady. that's why i'm not using a simple hacksaw. Any recommendations? I also heard that you can use base molding but I don't know how well that works out without drilling into the bumper from the outside so the screws are visible. with the garden edging it'll be able to tuck under the bumper so you can screw it to the bottom. Then maybe even put another layer on top of that with double sided tape. I haven't decided yet.

hey you guys know wat he used? btw im a noobie to dis forum so plez bare with me...

thank you=)

Homedepot lip flicks

Here's how it came out. I think it looks better than nothing but what you guys thing?

It looks alright. Did you just use tape or use screws?
Now you need to find yourself some sideskirts.

I put my homedepot lip on last night. It looks aight. I'll post pics up later today. I think I could have done a better job making the lip but I had enough trouble cutting the edging into a lip. I had a lil trouble on positioning the sides. I did the best I could.

yea dats pretty nice... thumbs up

can you take some up close shots.........

I feel like I beat it up pretty quick. I have it held on with sheet metal screws. Was gonna use nuts n bolts but I was too lazy. I'm probably gonna make a new one and be more careful when I make it. I was rushing that last one.

ok, so can someone explain to me how to do this? and also, does it work for side skirts and rear lip too?

cut along the red lines I drew. I also forgot to draw it in but I made slits about ever 3 inches on the parts that screw into the bumper so it can be flexible and make the curves. You might have to shave out parts that screw into the 2 corners of the bumper that curve almost 90 degrees.(slits every 3 inches make three inch tabs to screw in to the bumper that you don't have to screw every tab but the tabs might get in the way at the 2 sharp curves so you might have to shave about half of 1 or 2 tabs. Don't shave the whole tab b/c you'll be able to see a slit through the lip from the front like mine. It was my first time so it didn't come out as well as it could have.
