About 2 weeks ago, I went over a bump a little too fast and pulled one side of the lip off my car...luckily I was in a parking lot, but I had to unscrew the remaining screw and the lip sat in my hatch until tonight.

I found a body clip and realized that the side that the lip remained on was pretty mis-shaped and dented, so I bent it as much back into place as I could and after much pulling and twisting and grunting, I got my lip back on!

Just thought I'd share my victory in automotive body work!

Well, the pics in my sig...it looks just like that except on the driver side, theres some tar marks on the top of the lip where I ran it over...

It goes with my car's raggity theme. The black stripe that goes around the car (it was already removed on the sides) well I started to remove it on the front, and only got it half done...it looks terrible. But the rest is proving to be a pain to get off...any suggestions anyone?
