Default home depot lip?

has anyone tried a DIY front lip with garage door seal from home depot? Anyone know what type or brand of double sided tape would hold it on?

I have never done it. 3M double sided tape with some self-tapping screws on the under side would hold it up nicely.

I remember reading a thread on a Hyundai Tiburon forum site about this. BTW, about how much will it cost?

It looks okay, but the whole concept is really ghetto.
