so i was at home depot, i found some of the liner. it looks better in the pictures than in person. i was expected something that looked closer to a hard plastic/rubber. this is just super soft foam that looks like pipe insulation. i will be using some under the lip to provide some scrape protection, but i won't be making the lip.

Wait till it comes off and gets sucked up into your pulleys or cv shafts.
Even OEM plastic lips will do this. I ripped a GTX lip spoiler off one of my Jettas while rolling over a gigantic speed bump and one of the corners got caught in the lower control arm, just half an inch away from the axle. The 3M tape mentioned earlier in this thread is just as strong as most of the plastic/rusted metal screws that the majority of manufacturers use to put on their lip spoilers.

I tried to put this on my car.
Problem was my front bumper can't clear the driveway on it's way in/out. So I don't know how it's gonna clear this lip.

Can't wait to see this one... maybe the kids who insist on sticking their wheels out the side of the car past the fenders can slap some of that shit on the wheel well edge to keep within the letter of the law

Maybe all the foam body kit ricers can have their own trophy at the RS Summer meet

this "lip" is meant to help protect your bumper from future and further scratches on your bumper.

it's really pliable, it'll just bend to form with your bumper. you should make sure to use really good quality durable double sided tape if you do end up doing it though

I know it's pliable.
I'm using Pro Form 958.

The problem is, my driveway is slanted and I get about halfway out of my garage, then the bumper hits the pavement, hard. I've tried using blocks, and even built a mini ramp.
Shit's not happening. lol.
The "lip" will just rip off if I even bother to put this on. Or worse. Catch the pavement and rip off my bumper.

first off, you automatically lose any automotive argument due to your Cavalier and what you did to it.... don't give a shit if you still have it or not, point is you HAD it, and it was YOU who modded it the way it was......
to rice out a domestic, I still don't know if you got the biggest nuts on this forum, or the least sense... I don't know you personally so I can't make that judgment, and besides I don't do personal attacks on forums...

and secondly, I will be at the RS summer meet with my new wheels and setup, (fingers crossed they're completed on time) and I would like to invite you over to inspect it and check it out..... but the problem with that would be SINCE you had a fully riced out Cavalier, this shows you've got absolutely 0 taste in automotive styling, so your opinion is worth as much as a huge ricer wing on a 120hp FWD Cavalier. And we all know how much that really is....

you're more than welcome to still come by and check it out, someone needs to show you how proper automotive styling is really done

Installed it on my uncle's 91 Accord when I was in the States a few weeks back. It looked REALLY clean, and colour-matched the side and rear lips.

No pics because I didn't have a camera and left their house right after.

Mine stick out 4-6 inches but I still don't stoop to such levels. Then again I'm one of those douche bag big truck drivers cracking windshields and blinding everybody with my 55 watt halogen lights but hell I'm a little inbread.
Maybe at the RS summer meet I'll get an RS trophy for Most lacking of foam tape inbread douche bag 2010.
I'm not holding my breath that would be one expensive engraving.

i'm thinking of using the pipe insulation kind since its more easier to twist around corners
