    This thread date is is a few days old, but I did a simple update on my truck and I really like it. Looks sporty in a NASCAR sort of way. It's very affordable too.

    Go to Lowes hardware and in the flooring department they have this edging that goes between the floor and wall right where they meet. I grabbed 2 pieces of the black and doubled them up for strength. Drilled holes in them in measured spots for eveness and again strength when mounted. Lined it up to truck where I wanted it located and drilled (gulp!) the lower vance of the truck. Be sure to kinda stretch as you drill and place a screw so it stays firm in all weather. Use stainles steel screws and I used lock nuts for the back, use washers also if you like. It looked like it belong there after I was finished and I couldn't believe I only paid about 20 bucks, lol. Another plus. it won't fall off. I lost a front lip on freeway once and it made a nasty loud noise as it bounced under the car. The next day going to work I seen parts of it on the side of the freeway. Looked worse then when an animal strays mistakenly onto the freeway. lol
