Can I copy your idea ? It looks good.

I still mine untouched, I like it but it seems that it's not that easy to install with just one person.

FYI, I agree that it looks better painted but this thing is so flexy, it will be hard for the paint to stick.

You can get it painted. There is supposed to be a paint that will flex with the part. I can't remember what it is though.

U can paint the lip because I painted mine a year ago and its perfect. I know the paint shop said they had to dip the lip in some type of solution so that the paint would stick to it and wouldn't crack. Mine looks beautiful and shinny not one crack.

you have to start at one side, screw one side in, go screw the other side in, line up the middle and screw that one in, then slowly go from one end to the other one by one screwing and thats it your done!

Well,
For starters,this part is a valence not a lip. It does not protrude forward at all. The upside down mounting looks orginal, but I'm not sure that the effect of the bumper sides would be beneficial to cars without side skirts. It looks rather huge to me that way as well. But I haven't seen it in person.
