I may have a source for some rubber for the front lip. There is a rubber supply place in town that just gave me some strips one time. They use it for these huge conveyor belts on coal mines. It is really tuff, but I am not sure it will shine as nicely as Bills Ruf piece does. It would most likely have to be cut with a band saw or something, certainly much tougher than the factory piece on my car. I would be willing to see what they have and report back. It is made like a tire more or less w/o treads.
