Cosmetic, it might also save the bottom of your bumper if you bottom out.

I just used double sided tape similar from what the OP used and it is pretty stable. Been driving 60-80 on the freeway and it is still there. I also tested it by pulling the rubber and tape is holding it strong.

If you run over something on the free way, it might.

Nope.
If you use similar stuff like I did then you should be fine. I haven't used any screws and mine has stayed on for a long time. I've gone up to about 80, and even been in the rain and it's still there.

This is my "Home Depot" Lip DIY Version 2.0
(1 long garage door seal cut it half and sicked together upside down)


I used Double-side tape with plastic door trim cut flat and sicked it to the bottom of the lip edge to stiffen it.


Test Fitting to see how it looks


DIY Front Lip complete. ... I wonder though if vinyl lettering would stick to the rubber ... if it can maybe I will add a cool vinyl sticker to it.

I took the idea of this new style Lip from here:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1526863 (Credit goes to NASIOC Fourm user Mobutusan, for Front Lip Version II)

See where my Falkin logo is, I'm thinking of blacking out the white area there with black matte vinyl ?!? make the front look more agressive, what you guys think?
Next Project... DIY "Home Depot" style side skirts... might try paint the rubber as well, maybe plasti Dip spray paint will work!?!
I love this! Im doing it tomorrow!!!

Just a note guys. The garage seal posted by our Canadian members is made by "Tago" and carried by the Home Depot's of Canada. The majority (99%) of the US HD's carry that made by "Frost King" and it looks different. It appears to me that the seal used in V2 by Mr White HB is branded "MD" and carried by Lowes where I found it today. It is a harder rubber so I see it maintaining its shape and strength over the "Frost King" stuff from The Home Depot.

Just a heads up that if you want yours to look like what you see here and on other forums and you check it out like I did, be sure to get the right stuff. Me, I like version 2 so I got the MD stuff at Lowes. Now all I gotta do is figure out which way to flip it upside down.....lol.

i had to take a few moments during mock up to figure out placement but i did mine opposite of the white echo and went with a slimmer lip.

I guess we'll have to change the name to "Lowe's Lip" then...

That looks pretty awesome, I've already ripped the factory air dam off of mine twice though, so I guess I'll have to leave this one to you guys that have decent roads :P
