            Mount it to a trash can if you like, i think they look better on valances.

              Got some pics of mine finally.

              I have it mounted with zip ties, half loose, half tightened.

              And a spring holding in the sides.

                  Took me two seconds to drill and attach. Makes a great difference.

                    Yeah, its more going and getting the springs haha. Ive got shocks and brakes to do right now, and about 2 weeks to do it. but yeah i'll probably tuck in the sides

                            Maybe for track use if you want something that's cheap to replace when you go adventuring but on a street car it just doesn't look right. It was cool at first but now it's played out and like taurus skirts will soon no longer be the hot item to have for cheap.

                              Well my reasoning was its a daily driver car so the lip sees some pavement from time to time, so i wasnt inclined to put 150$ that close to the ground.. or have the valance unfinished

                                Meh, I have an IS lip, and two combined splitters ($150 + $90 + $90) with just about three inches to spare. To be baller you just have to be careful. :)
