Well dammit, I may have to buy a lotto ticket now because I think I found it:



I think it's off of a 05-06 Chevy Tahoe. Best guess. Anybody work at a GM dealer? These things are supposed to be dirt cheap. Keep in mind though that I took a dremel to this and even added a piece in the middle for reinforcement. This would NOT be a plug n play, but if someone could figure out a price from the dealer I'd be happy to do a DIY writeup. This thing could be as cheap as $50.

That lip looks pretty good on your SC in my opinion. I'd rock it

By far the best home made lip I've seen so far. I say more people should consider this for a replacement if having trouble locating a OEM or a Wiselip! Just my two penny's

Looks really good. Im not a fan of these home made lips but this one's nice. I like how its flush with the bumper. They usually turn out to be angled. you should post a diy with the reinforcement....

I'll see if my mom has a lip like this on her Escalade. I may have to borrow it if she has one.

LOL!

Before everyone goes all crazy for this lip, keep in mind that I CUT IT IN HALF at the middle. This is not too visible because I remounted the license plate to a lower position, and that covers the middle "gap."

If you're in a state that does not require a front plate, or choose not to run a front plate, you'd have to spend more time on this than I did. Mainly, you'd have to take body filler to the gap to fill it in, and then use a coat or two of flat black or rubberized paint to make it look seamless.

I'm just giving all y'all fair warning before you get all hot n' horny about it.

Thanks!
I find it funny though that people really like the DIY lip, but nobody commented on my DIY headlight lenses. Hahha!

looks good man. I wonder if you could just trim it at the ends to keep from cutting it in the middle.

I still like it. I would put forth the effort to make one look like this one. I may try and fix mine tomorrow.
