I'm sure it will, nearly every enthusiast from every make and model use the same thing for their bumpers. You'll be good.

No other pics yet, this was just attached with blue tape, i'll get some real double-sided tape this weekend and attach it for good. Will take pics then.

Yep, just the bumper was painted (that's it installed in the first post, you can see some pics in the "how-to" i posted here). The bumper came out "okay", the color didn't match perfectly and there's a bit of orange peel. I can fix the latter but may go back to them about the former. Nobody else seems to notice the color difference though.

Thanks for the offer, i'll take you up on it next time around... and i'll even pay to ride on the Max! (I miss mine )

Alrighty, here are some quick shots... it better illustrates what i meant by the sides looking lower.

Looks ok I think. Not as good as the Journey lip on the S but that's still better then a plain S bumper by it's self.
I like the front shot with this HomeDepot lip, for the price you pay for its very nice.

I agree, it's no OEM lip but again for the price of lunch it's a decent "upgrade", plus it protects the underside of the bumper from scrapes.

Looks great. Just makes the front end a little more finished. Honestly, if I knew about this two years ago, I probably would not have gotten a lip.

Looks good actually, I'd just worry about it flapping about while driving

Just get under that thing and install it... or think of a place we can meet up and I'll give you a hand.

Just get it on there already!

So the wide double sided 3M tape should hold that in securely? You don't have to apply screws? Personally, since it's on the bottom, I don't care if it's screwed in or not.
