Nice work!
Most might not agree, but i installed my lip using the old zippy tie method! It has saved my lip more than a few times, as the zippy ties break instead of the bolts just ripping through the holes!
Different strokes i guess

I dont care that my laces aren't fat or that I'm not even close to flush and I certainly don't want to be the illest!

Yeah, I thought about the zip ties, but I went with the screws anyway, since my lap was soft polyurethane.
And no matter how I look at it, it still looks a bit off or not curled right. Might just be me being pedantic..

Re: Fitting front Garage Vary lip on NA8
The trick to the GV lip is to use some form of washer and not to tighten the bolts too tightly.
That way, when you do bump something, the load is spread by the washer and there's some give in it because you haven't tightened it to buggary.
