not bad man, but if you really want that effect i say you add it outward into to the current skirt and mold that sucka in. we've talked about molding before, but i'm sure it would be worth the effort. you could even paint it in yourself.
check out my side skirt post in the exterior threads. those skirts were the ones that really make it look great.

ok, i thought i did, so i checked, and indeed i still had a few pieces left from when i did my project.
the stuff he used is to flexible, so it leaves a wavey look to it. (it designed to flex to create a good seal) not really the best to use. i was hunting for the right product for awhile.
heres pics of what i used.
a pic of the sticker so you know exactly what it was.
here you can see that even though its heavy, and the end is not being held up, its still quite smooth. this stuff stays like this, and can take a hit against a sidewalk without issues.
now heres the money shot, u can see why i LOVED this stuff for doing my front lip, its totally bendable around corners, and bends clean.
it mounts easy as hell with any kind of screw u want. doesnt warp, and is like 5 bux for 6 feet of it. plus the material is about an 1/4 inch thick, so its very durable, and probably stronger then most aftermarket lips out there.
im not hating on rd1tib, just showing theres alot better material to do this with.
ill toss it up on my probe in the garage in a sec and take pics since i only have light in there right now.
:edit:
ok, just took a few quick pics. i used spray paint cans to hold it up so dont laugh. if they were actually screwed in they would look alot better because of the spacing i did with the cans being so far apart.
