Did the "Home Depot" lip.

[Black_griffin6]

Hey everyone.

I just got my Yaris back from the repair shop, not sure how many people saw my other thread but in it I got hit by my girlfriend's dad and the damage was about 1,300 dollars. I'm glad to say it's as good as new now.

I got it back Wednesday (been in the shop since last Monday) and today I thought I would try the "Home depot style" lip, made from the garage door weather stripping.
(As seen on page 4-5 on this thread and on page 3 of this thread.)

This is how it turned out.

Before:



First I cleaned the bottom of the front bumper with some all-around cleaning agent and a rag to remove any dirt that might affect the double-sided tape from sticking.



I got some "outdoor double sided tape" and the garage door sealant. The double sided tape worked VERY well...until I ran out. The roll I got didn't have enough so I had to improvise on the driver's side since that's when I ran out. I should have got a bigger roll.
I started from the passenger's side and I had about 4 inches to go when my double-sided tape ran out, I thought I would have enough but I didn't.
If anyone is planning on doing this the same way I did, get the bigger roll.

Here's the stuff I used. (Weather stripping for garage door)


And now some "after" shots: (Sorry, no real DYI pictures, it was kind of hard to get pictures of it while I was in the process of it.)

I appologize if you can't see it very well, it was very cloudy today so i'm going to take some more pictures when then weather is better.
Here's a bigger image of the bellow picture for better detail.




I think it turned out good. I haven't driven with it yet, so i'm eager to see how it holds up. I messed up on the left (driver's side) of the car, but I don't think it's too noticeable. Overall, pretty pleased with it, I like how it looks very "OEMish"
