Cool idea, let the cheap part take the heat.
I wanted to protect my GV Lip from unnecessary scrapes from my steep driveway and speed bumps. Since I haven't (yet) been able to talk Gary into making a splitter for the GV Lip, I made my own.
I used the same material as the Home Depot lip. I cut off the angle with my Dremel tool and just used the toothed section.
The purpose of this is not to create more down force but to just provide a barrier from scrapes.
Total cost is $11.42 to protect a $200 lip.
Cool idea, let the cheap part take the heat.

I like the titanium bolts. :sparks:
Looks nice, but you should use nylon bolts so they break instead of the lip where you have the hole for the bolts.

Here is a photo album of a few of the photos I took today and last night.
Photoshoot
As always, the car looks great! I think the only thing I would suggest is trying to find some black hardware for the splitter. The silver bolt heads and washers kind of disrupt the look.
I need to wax the NC and meet up with you for a photoshoot sometime. The twins need some pictures together.

the more damage my r-pack lip takes, the cooler it looks. Right now I have some red, blue, and white marks on it, which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.
