Quick 'n Easy Front Lip
Yeah, one of those Q 'n E's again! 
Since i posted in the other thread, the cats out of the bag, so i might as well share this with the rest of y'all.
A lot of you may already know about this "mod", but for those who don't, here are some teaser shots until i can get hold of automotive double-sided tape.
I've always wanted to get the OEM lip, and I know this is the cheap way out, but after having just paid for a new bumper, i'd hate to have to pay for a new lip again should someone decide to run into me again.
Anyhow, for the most part, i think it works well, but the sport bumper tapers lower at the ends so with this in place the sides will look lower.
Edit: Better pics on the next page.
Installation is fairly simple, so no DIY for this.

Thanks guys, i can't take credit for this mod, but whoever originally came up with the idea was a genius!
It's not perfect though, even back when i had the Max, i couldn't find a package where the rubber didn't have any type of imperfection on it. (a fold, or some air pockets probably from not sticking to the mold properly, etc.) The folds or creases should be easy enough to smoothen out with some heat applied to it though.
What i've always wondered is how the darned thing looks when the vehicle is moving.
These things aren't sturdy by any means, so i'm wondering if they flap or "fold in" from the wind pushing back on it.
Son, i still have an extra band-aid! Been thinking of placing it somewhere else on the car.
