    EXT: REAR Lip

    I used the steps for this diy

    http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=60766
    **Thanks a WHOLE LOT for researching into this.

    Materials
    -Power drill
    -Scissors
    -8ft long garage door bottom lining @ homedepot
    -20+ 1/4" Self tapping screws + optional washers
    **Flat black spray paint if you really want to make it look nicer, be sure to tape off your bumpers with atleast 4 inches of tape so you dont get your bumper while spraying

    and applied it to the rear lip

    It takes about 20 self tapping screws, i used 1/4 inch ones with some washers.

    Step 1
    Buy the garage door bottom from home depot near the door sections. You need atleastt 8 ft because after i was finished i had about a foot left over from a 9 foot garage door bottotm.



    Step 2
    Jack the car up high enough to fit your drill and position the lip under the bumper. If you have mud guards just cut at a 45 degree angle and then straight again so the rear lip sits flush against the mud guard. Start from one end to the other.

    Step 3
    Drill the self tapping screws about every 3-5 inches, if you go any more the lip will droop and look odd. You can see it droop on the passenger side, need to drill another screw.



    Step 4
    At the bends of the bumper you need about 3 screws, 1 at the bend, and 1 on each side of the bend about 2 inches away from the screw at the bend.

    Step 5
    Once you've gotten to the muffler cut out, just use a scissor and have end any way you want. I chose to have it follow the muffler cutout.

    Step 6.
    Repeat for passenger side

    **Optional step with spray paint
    Tape off your bumper with 3 inches of tape and spray 2 coats of black, let it dry between coats.

    Here's how my came out, the passenger side is droopey because i ran out of screws, but i'll refine it later.

    **This is before i sprayed the rear lip down, I'll take more updated pics from far away. Was too busy installing my 1 piece head lights with long.


    *dont mind where it hits the rear mud guard, it actually sits flush against the bumper, i drilled another screw there.


    overall it looks damn good for $8 and adds a little flare to your car and makes yo look 1.15" lower aha

        very very different. You get props for a idea like this. Might as well make a garage door body kit so it doesnt break or crack when you bottom out. LOL

                              good luck guys, and remember to not space the tapping screws too far from each other or the lip would droop in the middle.

                              take pics after!
