Step 1. get one of those GSR lip spoilers they are always posting wanted threads about and complaining that no-one is making fibreglass copies of.

Step 2. get your angle grinder and welder out, then make it fit your GH scorpion. paint to suit.

Step 3. laugh maniacally while posting results on web forum :P

As soon as I saw the pics, first thought was of this pic:

It looks ok though. Would look better colour matched to the grey/silver you have at the bottom of the Scorp.

It isn't as pretty up close but it was pretty buckled and in average shape when I got it, but be damned if the scorp front ends arent like a meter off the ground.

when I got it the weld points were busted. I cut them out narrowing it by about 2 inches, I also had to weld in a new piece for a mounting point just above the "vent" and I flattened out the rear mounting bracket then drilled a new hole. you can see the new mounting point if you compare pic 1 to pic 2. the outer mounting points match up with the points that secure the front quarters and original lip, but I had to drill some holes in my original lip to mount it up. hopefully my dumb terminology hasn't thrown you, if you had the two pieces you could see what I am talking about. If it was a hot day (so my paint dried quicker) I could have done it in an afternoon.
