I'm bored + I have no money = bring on the ricer mods!<p>Tackled the garage door seal lip mod today. Word to the wise...buy black double sided tape. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/zeroforum_graphics/screwy.gif" BORDER="0"> Now I need to go back and eithe re-do it, or paint the existing tape black where it's visible. Oh...did I mention I'm a lazy ass, so it'll probably stay like that until someone says something to me about it?<p>Anyway...here it is:<p>Before:<p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/006.jpg" BORDER="0"><p>After:<p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/001-3.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/002-2.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/002-2.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/003-3.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/kmags/Volvo%20S60%20R/005-4.jpg" BORDER="0"><p>

She appreciates good handling and speed, but won't sacrifice safety and a nice interior to get it.

I noticed you used white double-sided tape. It looks kind of tacky. You should have used black double-sided tape. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/biggrin.gif" BORDER="0"> <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/wink.gif" BORDER="0">

Re: (kmagnuss)
Great concept, but I think it will "plow" thru the air at speed, and eventually fall off your car. It looks like it will act like an air scoop, and the tape won't hold...
