Looks awesome Nic!! Where did you end up mounting it?

You will have to take steep inclines at an angle but you should be fine until you lower the car I have a tendency to take up the entire entrance/exit ramp at certain places just so I don't scrape too bad. The car is looking great! Are you taking the winter wheels and tires off soon?

I ended up mounting it in my driveway. I put the car on ramps where it would give me access to the bottom screws that hold the front bumper cover in place. I was able to put the lip on temporarily to drill 6 additional holes in the bottom of the car. Once the holes were drilled, I took the car off the ramp because it would not clear the ramp with the lip on. Once the car was down, I just used the 6 screws, washers and bolts that came with the lip and affixed it to the car. Would have been easier if I had someone to help support one end of the lip however I did it myself.

Today it rained and took a picture just before leaving work. Love the way the water beads on the paint.
