First off, I know OEM lips fit the best but I'm not willing to pay for one. OK, now that that's out of the way:
What you'll need:
-Aftermarket rear lip
-Drill (cordless is better)
-Drill bits
-Black Plastic Screw Covers
-Nylon 1/2" spacers
-1 1/2" x #8 stainless screws
-beer
You can find all of above at Home Depot/Lowes except the beer. Hit a packy for that.
Before pic:
Not the best picture but you can see from this pic the lip bows up in the middle and flairs out. Also the passenger side sagged down. The sides also fit sloppily against the side of the bumper. I should've taken more "before" pics but didn't. Sorry.
***Note the only reason the lip doesn't sag is b/c it is being held up by the tow hook!***
The main problem with aftermarket lips is that they come with very little installation hardware. The one I have only came with 4 screws that are used to attach the lip to the inner edge of the wheel well. This allowed the lip to sag b/c of zero support in the middle.
Picture of what you need:
Then pre-drill a hole in the rear lip. Try to space them out evenly and have the hole set in about a 1/2" or so.
Before you start screwing
you have to modify the screw cover so that the cover will snap over the head of the screw. You could just get larger screw covers but I didn't want them to be too "bulky" looking. Simply drill the hole in the cover out a little like this (note one is modded, the other isn't)
Now you're eady to go ahead and grab one of those Nylon spacers that go between the lip and the rear bumper. This keeps the lip from getting smooshed into the bumper. Be sure to slip the cover over the screw before you begin. Like so:
Snap the cover over the screw:
^Looks pretty clean huh?
I used 6 all together and it really straightnened it out. Looks alot better IMO. Some finished up pics:
Driver's side:
Passenger's side:

From behind:
Obviously not as nice as an OEM lip but I give the fitment an 8.5/10 now.
So
