true do it yourself, or the pre made ones? Usually people just apply 3m tape like below

anything specific that was causing you trouble?

The curvature of the front bumper is rounded which makes it difficult to tape with a straight line.

Does this serve a purpose or is it purely aesthetic?

I don't know how many times my front bumper has been saved by this style of lip. With a lowered vehicle, it's cheap insurance.

Do a dry run(no tape)and cut V's in the parts that's going to curve and afterward put the tape on all that's left of the strip, then apply strip to car.
Don't cut the part that's going to show(that should fold no problem)

best pic I could find illustrating it ...on the right. You could cut small notches out of the back side to help it conform to the curves better. The cardboard pic on the left shows it fully collapsed. Obviously that's like a right angle - which you wouldn't have. But, you get the idea on how it would bend easier around curves if you made some small cuts?
