Home Depot, right? My gut is telling me to cringe, but it actually looks OK. I'd like to see some better photos and see how it holds up over time. It's probably not designed to travel at 60+ MPH so I'm wondering if freeway debris will scuff it up.

well I have had it up to some pretty decent speeds no problems what so ever, you need to make sure you are using a good tape. i bent it back here at work on accident because I went too far in a space ( I had it down to the mm with the stock appearance so with the extra inch or so on there it bent back). I reversed got out and it just flopped right back into place. I am happy with it for now. makes the ms side skirts flow a bit better

Looks good. Welcome to the club. Lol. I have had this for over a year and been up to speeds of 120mph and it still holds fine. Honestly, I think my bumper looks like crap without the lip because when I had to take the lip off to replace it, the bumper looked as if it was missing something. I replace mine probably every 3-6 months if it is worn out or not fully sticking in the corners. It has saved my bumper multiple times in which I have hit a curb, and there was no damage whatsoever since the foam absorbed the impact. To keep it looking great and look more integrated with the car, I apply Aerospace 303 Protectant after every wash and it looks great.

^ Yeah I use mothers back to black makes it blend real well with the car. I love how it flows much better with the ms side skirts.

alright before all the flames I just want to point out that everyone does like it, now to answer some questions. It is a garage door rubber bottom its attached by automotive 3m tape and I go to work on an express way everyday at about 85 mph with no problem. Has also been through rain with no problems
