3rd Generation DIY: Taurus lip mod, my results ***

I went to one of the junkyards around me and there was a taurus wagon right at the gate. i just used my foot to press it off the bumper and it came right off, looked around the yard there were tons of hondas, very few camrys.
They wanted 40.00 but i talked them to 20.00.

Brought it home cleaned it off, sanded it with fine grit sand paper.
Primed
painted
clear coated
mounted
pry off this little peice of plastic:

I used 4 5/18 bolts, drilled two holes in the front and two holes on the side and bolted it on. pretty easy, only hard part was making sure it was aligned right with the bumper

*note the custom plate frame

Looks really good, just make sure there is minimum gap between the bumper and lip. I wish I had a 3rd gen coupe

That looks good. But are your rims painted or it's just dirty...?

U did a great job, it just turned out doesn't look as i expected on a sedan ... I'll pass this mod.

Anybody know any other kind of bolt-on lip like this ? some other model maybe ...
