My buddy Shawn did this write up for a DIY front lip and I thought it turned out incredibly well.
I am going to do this.. It might seem janky, but think about how many times you have hit a curb with your front end while parking, or if you rallyx hitting rocks/cones etc etc how well this will work.

I think it looks very nice too.
