i did the hd lip today it ran me about 20 bucks cause i had to buy two rolls of the double sided tape ($5 each) and the stripping ($10). i think it looks pretty cool but i dont like how i can see the double sided tape sticking out a bit. did i do it wrong?
im kind of nervous about it falling off but i have the screws and washers i just cant put them in because my drill doesnt fit under the car! i have to find time to lift it but i only have the emergency jack. Quote:
ignore the messy part.. i was bending it to see what it would do but while it was wet and touched it to itself. ANYWAYS Im thinking about picking up another pack of weather stripping tomorrow and painting it properly to see how it works out.. but after painting my eyelids, a/c control panel, foglight bezels, part of my rear bumper, and the scraps i painted.. i might need to order another can of paint first.

You also have to be sure to use rubbing alchohol on the spot where you are applying the tape so that the spot where you're using the tape is clean and is sticking to the surface of the car and not the dirt under the car. Post some pictures! Let's see how it turned out. |

but heres the final product + a plastidipping of my bumper lol im actually way more satisfied with the hd lip than i thought i would be. i thought it looked cheap in pictures but seeing it in person (and on my car) it looks awesome. oh and for anyone that was wondering, when i tried color matching the hd lip scrap, it didnt work. the paint cracked after drying. cheers!

Just curious, is there any mileage advantage to this or is it all for looks?

Im thinking about doing this because the previous owner of my car took the lip of my yaris up acrost something HARD! nice and scuffed under there and the factory stock lip had 3 screws missing. (sure hope it didnt happen when i loaned my mom my car for the day ) either way I need a cover up and this looks like it.
Thanks Sean Scott |

When I got the car back from the shop after the bodywork, it had the stiff replacement lip, so I sorta scored the OEM for free. -C

Now you have a moral obligation to find the shop technician who worked on your car and torture him till he tells you where he got this thing from (serious issue considering no aftermarket lip is available for 2009-2011 model) |

These Lips are just only Cosmetic and do not help with Fuel Economy but here's what can help fuel Eco. .... performance spark plugs and high quality spark plug wires and make your engine breath better exhaust and air intake !

Interested in your post. Have you got specifics on the wires and plugs?
