Default Found a new lip for us ED guys!

It's off an '07 Escalade. They run about 35-40 bucks for a brand new one!

You need to take about 3 1/2 inches out of the center! There's tabs on the bottom of the lip that let you just use self tapping screws!

Sorry if it's not tech enough, if not move/delete at your will mods!

If you have any questions PM me!







I know my hood looks stupid! My valve cover is rubbing on it and it annoys me. It's the best I can do for now! Also the plate isn't the correct address it's for my parents so don't get any ideas thiefs!

looks pretty good. can you fix that gap a little better and make it flush with the bumper? sure beats that God-awful vw lip.

I am gonna use the heat gun, I didn't realize the gap till I got it off the lift. A little heat and it'll be perfect IMO.

That looks great. I'm not really happy with my DA lip, I may consider this.

What did it cost? Easy to come by?

I work for Caddy so I got it out of the warranty bin...haha! I am sure they're not expensive! I'll find out and let you guys know!

Also I did "plastic weld" the center back together. I will be painting it black after it's fitment is better.

Sick. How does it line up with the rear bumper?

My wagons *** looks shitty without a rear lip, for 30-40$ its worth it.

Are the sides long enough to fit the sedan?

Did you have to trim it by the tires/fender well area?

Looks nice. Great alternative to the VW/homemade lip.

it looks like the gap is caused by the tabs being too thick... If that gap can be cleaned up, it will look awesome!

I agree... way better than the VW lip. Since you didn't have to trim the ends, looks like it won't fit the sedan. I'll have to stick with a DA lip...

That a nice lip, but I hate it when you have to cut the lip in half to shorten. For some reason that line in the middle always seems to bother me. Yours isn't as bad, but the vw lip is famous for it. It still surprises me how vw did that with their lips from the factory.
