    Looks nice! How'd you stick it to the bumper?

    Drilled holes and bolted it. Look at the Club Roadster link I posted.

    I like it, reminds me of the r package lip but you don't have to pay an extra 170 for it.

    Cool, what kind of ramps are those? You back it up there or did you jack your car up and lower it onto them?

    They look like Rhino Ramps. Drive-on/up. Usually can be found on sale for $10.

    Yep but I've never seen them for as cheap as $10. Wally World has them for about $30.

    My only complaint and warning is don't use them with the tires wet. I drove the MPV onto them when it was raining and the tires slipped, melting the plastic ramps a bit.

    The lip looks really nice.

    Is it just for looks, or does it serve a function?

    This one is primarily for looks but it does keep weeds out too.
