RE: The HD lip.

If you want to make it easier, just run a string along your bumper, with painter's tape, and measure out the length that you need. Cut off the section you want, and leave it indoors until it's flexible... you can prep your bumper while the HD lip material is warming, and when you've got your retainers on the bumper cover, bring out the "lip" and mount it up.

You'll get a good 20 mins of pliability each time you warm it up on really cold days. Should be plenty to mock it up, then warm it up again, and drill/poke/cut your holes and mount it.
