DIY Home Depot Lip
Came across this, and thought it was quite interesting. Reminds me of the bottom part of the CR lip.
Here are a few pics on some other cars:
I posted this on another forum I'm on often and it helped a lot of people out, just thought I'd share with the Van city guys. I'm at Home Depot a lot and I noticed something one day that wasn't meant for what I ended up using it for. I've seen on other forums some guys are doing a similar things with this as well, so there's different ways to do it and for each of yours it will probably be the same as I did it though. For my specific bumper I did it my way, no need to drill holes, just use 3M sticky double sided tape. Pics below.
UPDATED PICTURES FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THIS MOD
1st, you go to home depot, to the garage door section and buy the rubber lining that goes on the bottom of your garage door
This is the tape you buy at Lordco
And this is how you install it onto the bumper (keep in mind this is the thin 3m tape below, I used the wider one pictured right above for full adhesion)
and here's a picture from a few months ago the first day I installed it

I agree. It does look very good. Any idea how well they hold up? Altho I guess it really doesn't matter too much since it's probably cheap enough to replace it every 6 months to a year...

Here is mine on my old subaru. Subaru people have been doing this since 2004 it holds up pretty well but does wiggle at freeway+ speeds. A lot of people use it under there lips as protection too.
As I look back on it, I feel it was a bit tacky. If you want a cheap lip and don't really care about it, go for it.
