i left my digital camera at the shop with the car but heres a pic i took with my phone, the lip is all one piece so i primed it with a filler primer to fill in some of the minor scrapes and cracks. Still needs some sanding and paint but heres what it looks like on the car....

and yes clearance is going to be a huge issue, it sits no more than maybe 1 1/2" to 2" from the ground, its prutty sturday tho already bottomed it out once backing out of one bay and it held up fine...but hey for 10 bucks of supplies and some late night hours at the shop im not too worried about it.

i actually reconnected it with a metal bracket screwed on the backside of the lip then cut the screws that came through and shaved them down smooth, i still gotta do a skim coat with the body filler to fill in the small cracks and marks from the screws. with the brackets its much more durable im also reinforcing the back of the lip with a fiberglass matting for some extra strength.

well the lip is destroyed...make a long story short i took the car on the highway something went wrong cyl #1 isnt doing anything right now have to do compression check tomorrow and find out. so basically i had to have the car flatbedded and was so frusterated i left the bumper on and well from there im sure you can figure it out...the chains tore apart the lip. ill post pics up monday. hopefully the motor isnt done with
its too bad cuz the lip was holding up great i slammed it pulling out of a couple driveways and no damage was done until the flatbed
