Looks good man! We rolled the rear lip on superdan's car. basically you have to cut the lip where the indentation is up to the part where it goes straight across. Then you have to score that straight part pretty deep otherwise the brass inserts will rip right out of the lip when you try to roll it, and that's bad. You have to cut the bumper underneath as well so the lip will roll.

It looks better now since we zip tied it up closer to the body

Overall it looks great! What kind of exhaust are you running? The way the tips angle down reminds me of the way my Camaro muffler set-up used to be :-k
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

that is what i am talking about, i love it, i am deffently doing that to the back, that looks so good.



as for my exhaust it was done by a custom exhaust guy, 2.5 turbo back, going into a "full bore" muffler (a flowmaster, just better quality) then the oval stainless tips. prolly going to have to change it alittle when i get the lip kit on? right?? get it looking right in the whole in the back??

I had a feeling it was something like that. It sounds pretty simular to what I have...

Depending on the spacing of your tips, it may fit. What is the distance of the tips (outer to outer and center to center)?

Whatever a stock R/T is. The one I posted has an SRT rear section which is why the tips are right next to where the rolled area ends.

^ugh, no, i have a way to drill the wholes, (pritty much messure them out and drill) but the clips are not available from the dealer, (or so they say) so the drivers side front will take alot of work to get to look right.... so i am in need of the clips for them.....

may have to take one off and see if i can find something close.... they need to be painted to, but worst case i may just mold them on the car.... dont really want to do that because i drive the car alot.

Just glue them on with a panel adhesive or something. That's what I'll be doing to mine soon.

yeah, that was my other thought as well. instead of drilling wholes that may not line up anyway.... lol and maybe molding them as well, i would just hate to hit a bump (speed bump going into a show) and cracking one of the molds.... ugh.... DD's can be a pain to build sometimes
