That looks good for $150. I was going to get the small stock lip which is missing but maybe I'll buy this instead.

just my observation on the MikeL/Demonspeed lip:



At the halloween cruise...a very nice 88 10th AE had that lip...looked sweet...buuuuuuut, once it got cruising on the highway the lip flapped like kah-razy! I don't think that the middle section is directly connected to the nose, and the turbulance of wind made it shake voilently...One or two people on the other forum noticed this on their lip as well...



Rob was cruising in the same group...but not sure if he looked back and saw it...

****!! After staring at the pics for another 1/2 hour last night, I ordered the damn thing... we'll have to see how it mounts up. I'm sure I could find a way to secure the middle.

I was looking at thing in dis-belief as to how much it shakes.

It bounces up and down so wildly I dont know how it falls off.

It definitly doesnt do any good at highway speeds bouncing the way it

does.



I know there is nothing in the middle of the car under there to bolt it to, only thing I can see is somehow running a bracket up to the structural bumper itself.



I dont want it if its going to shake like that, which car were you Erik?
