I did a Home Depot lip, nothing to do with a Mustang. It was like $10 and only took like a half an hour to do.

I screwed it in place also. I suggest you skip the tape and use lots of screws, maybe 6 inches apart at most. It'll look better.

No, they would be completely below your line of sight. You would have to be under the car to notice them. I would personally leave it on though, it's a very subdued mod that most people would probably think was a factory option.
