I had two of these all held on with 3m, but some roadkill took it off. It looks great is super easy to do. I'm probably going to do another with and rivet it on?

how is yours held on? It looks great also

I made a Homedepot lip for mine today. It was $12 for the trim. I would say it turned out pretty good

I plan on trying to use a heat gun to even out the lip, as far as the screws go im thinking of getting a thicker material such as vinyl wrap to cover the screws so they dont show threw. I agree that its not perfect but I cant justify spending $100+ dollars on a lip because where I live the roads are horrible, with this lip I don't have to stress about it getting ruined because if it does I can easily replace it. Even though its not the best lip for the SC I think that its better than nothing, with a little more mods it should look alright.

Meh if it sat more flush with the bumper it wouldn't look as bad. The ridges just make it look like what it is truly is molding from HD. Maybe if you could smooth them out or mount the lip in reverse. The vinyl isn't going to blend unless you wrap the entire lip, while mounted. But then if you need to take it off you would have to re wrap it.

I could not figure out any other way to mount it than to screw it into the bumber because the person who had it before me bottomed out the front end alot and messed the bottom of it up making it almost impossible to mount any other way
