Its winter, so car is dirty, please excuse :)

I'm guessing you are talking about the eyebrow. Looks pretty clean to me.

P.S. You don't have winter; just an extended fall :confused

[AHenry014]

i think hes talking about the stripping at the bottom of the bumper. which i like!

[Dvsm50e34]

Yes, are winters arent as bad as yours, but i still complain :)

And, it is the bottom lip underneath the M-tech bumper... the eyebrows are fiberglass..

The lip looks damn clean for coming from Home Depot. There have been some serious hack jobs using Home Depot plastic and trying to create a lip out of it.

[ShapeShifter]

Not bad!

[Binjammin]

Keep the clean looking lip. Ditch the stupid, ugly eyebrows.

No snow = no winter.

^^ +1, but with a bit more love... :D. I really like that lip on the bumper cover.

[Dvsm50e34]

I too hated eyebrows, but now they have grown on me, when i take them of the car looks odd again... its a tough decision... will get some better pictures asap! atleast we know, the home depot lip can be done, with some patience and time..

[SmurfeN]

what did you use to mount it?

[Dvsm50e34]

I used bolts with screwable ends, then a washer to hold it there...

then there nyloc bolted underneath (not really necessary for something like this)

its not going anywhere, but i need to add some more because i ran out ...

[acepilot]

Eyebrows looks cool. I'd keep it. Show us how you did the lower lip so we can goto home depot

I would do it to my lip, but I don't know if I would feel ok drilling into my bumper...

You wouldnt even notice it, or care after it was done.

I honestly dont hate eyebrows on silver, and i know pretty well no how mine would look.

and OP, i second the no snow= no winter.

Looks good... And more importantly it will provide a little protection for the bottom of your bumper.

[sfgearhead]

So what is it? A garage door seal?

I like it, looks good. Although I could argue you don't need it since you already have a kickass lip.

[kipwinger]

I like it.

More pics, less crazy angles.

[TGreene]

I think it looks good because the lowers are color matched.

[Redfive]

That looks really good. What was the plastic/rubber originally for? i.e. where would i find it?

BTW, I've been to Australia in September, its like a mild version of early fall here. Its not winter if you can still wear shorts and go swimming.

[BruinBimmer]

Still no product definition or more pics?

[samteezy]

Still no product definition or more pics?

+.5

I'm partially interested

[bfp9]

Yea looks damn good and we have no more information than he bought it from the US. Alright, thats a good start i guess.

[sfgearhead]

Well, I can tell you it does look a lot like the rubber seal I recently installed on the bottom for our garage door. Sure would be nice to hear though.

[Dvsm50e34]

Sorry for the late reply, i didnt see the thread again so i thought it had died after the mixed emotions... i need to finish up some of the screws becuase i ran out, but have been very busy! I purchased the item from a guy on Ebay, i knew it was just a garage door seal by looking at his user comments, but we dont have this product in Australia...

Im going to Assume its probably something like that Frost King stuff... am i allowed to post Ebay adds on here? im not am i?

Some have said, not to ruin the sport bumper, but i mean a few small holes which are barely visible if removed still can be easily fixed if needed, il take a picture of the offcut i have remaining and maybe you guys can work out the product...

[Dvsm50e34]

Heres a better pic...
