Now I'll just have to fab up a backer plate to go under the lip. Since it will have the rod as support, figure I can go pretty thick with it.

Biggest PITA is going to be that I'll have to remove the lip and reposition it. I think it's pulled down far enough now that it won't simply push back up & sit flat. It never fit 100% perfect anyway - it's tight in the corners but bowed out in the middle a bit.
would a heat gun help in this situation to straighten it out? obviously the splitter will need to be removed from the car to be massaged back to shape, but just wondering.

thought someone made a metal bracket that runs across the entire bottom of the splitter to help maintain its shape?
