I did my 06 on Friday night. I put side 1 (as per pic above) on the bumper. When I got the middle cutout section, I attached the corner of side 1 and the little piece to the bumper to make it stick out away from the bumper and form an even bend from one corner to the other. One person thought i had put a v limited lip on because it stuck out the same. I also put strips of sheet metal between the washers and the lip. This spread out the force and eliminated the pinching caused by the washers.

I don't have any shots, but here's an MS Paint. Spacing was about 3-4 inches on straight sections, as close as 1 inch on the transistion from the side to the cutout on the front, and ~2 inches on the side curve to smoothen in out. I drilled holes as close to the front of the bottom without making them visible as possible. I bolted the corner on, then as I went along used needle nose pliers to puncture a hole in the strip where I needed it by holding up to the bumper and pushing it throught he hole in the bumper.
Blue=body, black=lip, gray=strips, red=washer, yellow=bolt (10-32), green=nut |

Oh, the strips were about 3/4"-1" wide and covered ~3-4 screws. The outer bolts (for each strip) held 2 strips in the place, the far left of one and the far right of another so that there weren't any breaks in the strips. This isn't shown in the picture above.

Awesome! thanks for taking the time to put that graphic together.
I was thinking I'd use the longest straight lengths where possible (1-2 ft?) then use 2-4" pieces where is has the tighter radius / curves in the middle. I was also thinking about trying to bend the strips to contour the lip where possible, by notching the strips like this: Not sure how difficult that would be tho. Whatever I do (eventually), I'll post it up. Thanks again! |

Dammit!
so this morning i did the install before work. i started by krazy glueing the tape i got to the rubber seal. this got messy and i was over it so i ended up just doing it on the pass side for like the first 10 inches. i continue with the tape which seemed to be really strong. i finish, and let me tell you, this lil inexpensive add on looks GREAT! i begin the drive to my buddies to pick him up cause we car pool to work. and i went on the freeway for about a mile. (just flogging it cause i was a lil behind) i heard a sound under my car when i first got on and instantly check my mirror,... nothing. phew right? i get to his house junp out and look... its still on! SWEET! he gets in we go to work. which is a 30 min drive. we get to work yatta yatta blah blah. i come out after the day is over..... NO MORE LIP!!!! oh man i was sooo mad! i have NO CLUE when the hell it fell off??? no sound or anything? i get down and look at it closer, all the tape is still there and the short spot where i used the krazy glue... black foam is stuck to it. SOOOOO, i believe the krazyglue is essential. i have enough foam seal for another try so this time im not goona rush it, nor cut corners. so take this as a lesson if your considering doing this mod. it looked amazing for the hour or so that it was on. so good infact that i know now that its well worth the extra time needed to do it all over again. i might not have given it enough time to cure, could have been part of why it came off. so now ill try again |

I used actual bolts with nuts. Maybe a little heavier, definitely more heavy duty.
