That ebay lip kit... is just a foam garage door seal with a sticker.
Frost King E/O 2-1/4 in. x 16 ft. Rubber Garage Door Bottom Seal-G16H at The Home Depot
This is basically the same stuff. I went to one store (Lowes, Home Depot, I forget which) and they had the exact same shape as what is in the ebay ad.

It's very flexible, and as indicated in Engrish on the ad, it needs to be screwed on to be permanent.

I looked at using the same stuff when I made mine, but it was so flexible that I took it back. I figured it would deflect from the air pressure and do nothing. My current air dam is quite rigid and it was just as cheap.
