^ you sure ? I've bought it numerous times at various HD locations and they always have plenty in stock. This is what you're looking for, this package. It's in the garage aisle

Is that the best one for the DIY?

Im doing this for my car since my aftermarket front bumper got fucked, and im puting the OEM back in. Putting the lip on so it looks lower to match the aftermarket sideskirts / rear bumper

Is the TAGO garage seal the one that has the most width to make the bumper lower? or would that be the frost king brand? Thanks

that's the same type of stuff I ended up using but mine was from Rona.
This stuff is super tough and has saved my front bumper a couple of times!

^ it's the same thing, it looks lower because there's different ways to install it, go back to page 1 and take a look at the pictures you'll see what I mean.

Have looked at the pictures over many times, not really sure by the different ways to install to look different >_<!

Any chance you could explain? I'm looking to install my lip make my OEM bumper look lower to match my VS side/rear

Thanks

I don't know how much clearer it could be explained, the pictures show you exactly how you can install it.


this is the typical way




and it looks like this




and if you just install it backwards to the other side it will be more subtle like this





and if you put the tape on the other side of the lip it will look like Leopolds lip which is the most noticeable.






either way you install it, they all look pretty good and more importantly serves it's true purpose of protecting your bumper

Ah, I understand now.. so whatever side you are applying to the bumper.. you would cover that WHOLE side with tape? I noticed that the red stripe only overed a small ammount on the table one

no that's the wrong size tape I ran out the proper one, the tape you wanna buy is at Lordco, and it's PF 956 as pictured below, it's like twice as wide as in the pic you see, sticks a lot better

I used 3M red double-sided tape on my uncle's Accord, and the lips held up since we put it on in april.

probably dont' need to use the thicker type but it's probably safer.

thing is when mine ripped off, i was quite glad i used the thinner one,

just try to buy the black tape, which i have a lot of trouble finding btw. so i bout what G-Spec bought, but the thinner type.

how about this onto my existing spoon lip?
lol maybe that's overkill... but I wanted to add something to just help from scraping the lip all the time. Probably install in a way it's not so noticeable.
And I still have to do this for my dad's BMW. Hell, might as well do it for my sis' too.

I think it would look funny on the back because of the angle of the lip.

Do you just fold it to get that angle?
