Front Bumper Lip Refurbish

My two cents is that as-is, or leveled, it looks good. Can play it either way.

Thanks, Ernie! If I were doing it again, I'd likely try to get it level. Am I going to remove it and level it? Unlikely. It would be an astronomical amount of work, especially since I'd have to do a lot of body work to repair the area that it's currently attached to.

I agree with ern-diz, it looks good now. You don't really have to level it, I just happened to notice it, and mine's just a bit more noticeable than yours. Mine's temporarily installed with rivets, so I can still adjust it. I really want to level mine and do something about how it's mounted towards the wheel wells, I want it flare out. I'm gong to have to revisit your other post on how you filled the ends. Also, I went with the Spoon replica lip, just to break away from what everyone else is using here. I think it looks slightly better, but that's just me. I'm gonna color match it eventually, along with the rear bumper add on and the spoiler. The replica spoiler that I got doesn't fit that well, the tips are rubbing onto the rear pillars. So it's preventing me from installing it, not sure if it's safe to put in the oven and curl the tips up a bit to prevent the rubbing.
I'm still looking around for side skirts that's a little more aggressive.

I found this and like it. I don't recall seeing it as an option when I was initially searching.

EDIT: After looking at it again, I feel that the recesses/holes in this lip might get distorted badly as it's curved to meet the Yaris bumper. It think it would be very difficult to maintain their shape as it wraps around the gentle curves of the Yaris bumper cover.

I'm mistaken, mine's JUN replica.

I like that. How much did you have to cut off each end?

It was a pretty good chunk, 3 inches maybe. I wished I kept the ends, I could have reused it to fill the end.

I bought the rear bumper skirt from eBay, it bolts directly to the stock bumper, just need to drill out the holes, which are marked on the inside, but I don’t see the listing anymore though.
