Didn't want to post the picture up since they're too big when posted. Too lazy to re-size, sorry.

Haha there, posted them without links. Pretty big photos that's why. And thanks for the comment, I was going to give up on my wagon but I decided to just fix the problems and keep the unique wagon.

Today I installed my polyurethane greddy (rep) lip. It was awesome for about 15 mins, until I hit the highway and the middle came undone and dragged on the ground thus ripping a giant hole in the middle. After reattaching it and praying for it to hold until I got off at the exit less than 50 ft. away, I hear a thud, look in my rearview mirror and see MSM confetti go everywhere and my lip stranded.

I feel your pain. I think I had the same front lip, rocked it for a month or so then I went over some train tracks and it got ripped off and three cars ran it over. Wasnt in too bad of shape.. so I ziptied it back together a week later. Had it on my car for a day, was heading home from work on the high way when the truck infront of me blew his tire and it smashed into the front of my car and that was the end of my front lip.
