lol well .....

I should have really done a DIY on it....

I went by the garage door splitter DIY before I realized it wouldnt bend around the bumper.

So I went with some of that black garden landscape edging? the stuff you stop grass from growing into your flower beds....
I got it from home depot for like 10 bucks.
It comes kinda rolled up and you have to carefully flatten it out so as to not have the creases left behind from flattening a curved surface.
Then I cut it to form a smooth rounded surface on the ends (because it wont wrap around the edges). Then I just secured it via zip ties through the lower grille and down through the bottom of the bumper through cut holes in the black edging.

Its complicated to explain but its pretty easy to do if you just go at it... you could drill into your bumper but I persoanlly didnt want to do that so I just went with zip ties.

The only downside is sometimes it rattles on "D" while parked and stops during driving or in "N".... it doesnt rattle at all or move at highway speeds.... pretty sturdy and looks good for only 5 dollars :)



I'll take some better pics tomorrow of how I secured it.
