garden edging...i screwed mine right on the bottom edge of my chin spoiler...used lots of screws. if you don't wanna screw into your chin spoiler you could probably use double stick tape

Do a search, a bunch of people on H-T have this lip. Next week on Home Depot tech, using around the house plumbing equipment to create a custom turbo kit.

don't use the garden edging if your bumper is similar to an EF cuz it will wrinkle no matter how hard you try! trust me i've tried and ended up buying my dad a new roll cuz i had to keep redoing and reinstalling the damn thing then one of the guys in the EF forum posted a pic of his new lip also from home depot but not garden eging, its called cove base molding. its flimsy than the garden stuff but it looks better (if looks is what your shooting for) and you don't need screws

Yeah I saw some 12' rolls of that rubber base stuff (goes around bottom part of walls, similar to baseboard). The entire length of the roll has mounting tape on the back side, so you can just stick it on.
I thought about doing this, but it would make my front bumper lower than the sides of my car (OEM sideskirts), so I don't know if I will or not.

Re: home depot special lips? (acteg94)
i worked at home depot but got fired for giving that edging away to a bunch of civic and teg drivers i know, I know for a fact that cove base is better, rather than plastic edging, its made out of polyeurothane and rubber composits, it will last alot longer, but find good epoxy to glue it on, you'll be good to go 
and for those homos making cold air intake with perferrated piping and pepsi bottles, jump off a cliff
