Little lip extension for front bumper?

I am trimming out a silver (KT3) max SE with a little black trim: black spoiler, black mirrors, factory black mudflaps on all corners. Also has the tinted sunroof deflector, so it's looking nicely black trimmed.

But, I need an extension about an inch tall in black at the bottom of the spoiler to anchor the color in front. Anyone know of anything? I don't want a full air dam... the driver of this car shouldn't have low clearance. I'm just looking for something about an inch tall that will follow the contour and run straight down an inch.

Any pointers to something that fits?

Yeah... saw that. Also saw the Jetta, the Sti... all a little too much lip. I want about half that height, about an inch or so, rather than two or three.

Been thinking about that ... might be some foam insulation that would conform and look right... don't know how it would hold up in the winter though. The garage door seal is too much lip.

Yeah, something shorter and I'd consider it. Trying to make a straight cut across a 5' long piece of plastic doesn't sound like a plan for a professionally finished edge.
