Emptied out my trunk and took off the cargo area cover to rule out those items as the source of the noises I'm hearing.

I drove it to work and pondered whether to park and get sap or pine needles.

Kenchan, he probably really meant to say lips because you have to order them in pairs because they either fall off or mystically explode while driving.

LOL

Case in point:

What remains of my second one...

Yes... the bumper came off and it took about 30 mins or so for me to line it up properly and drill the pilot holes through the lip and the bumper. I also removed the factory sport lip because it got in the way.

Acutally, I used 16 bolts and nuts along the entire bottom of the bumper.

What was bolted on stayed. Everything else exploded.

just raise the front (put the car on ramps), remove the bottom cover, and make new holes from the bottom into the bumper.
