there is a minor mod that has to be made to this lip. at each end about an inch needs to be cut off.the lip was a little too long. and like most lips priduced double sided tape needs to be applied to the rear of the lip to attach to the body. one screw on each side to hold the lip in place.price will be $149.99 for all who are interested let me know on this thread, or you can message me.

I think it looks good too. Why is their extra that needs to be cut off? Do you have a close up of that area so I can see how it looks? Also, will the tap really be all that's required to hold it? How long will it hold up?

The pricing sounds good but I'm hesitant until I know a little more about the interface around the cutting area.

Thanks

Nice looking lip but a few questions if you dont mind answering.
Have you made the lip yourself? and is it fibreglass? why the screws showing on the sides?

THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF YOUR WORK SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY. I have my own fibreglass business making spoilers, lips and bumpers for cars and vans and have no screws showing when fitted
If you had made the ends closed in so they lipped into the wheel arch you could put a screw in there to secure (unseen) so no need for double sided tape and an ugly looking screw showing on the side. Along the front a bead of automotive sealer on the back of the lip to secure to the bumper.

I was thinking of designing a front lip myself. I would have had one of yours (NOT TO COPY) but with shipping to the UK would be too costly.

the lip is made of poly urethane. since most do not know what poly urethane is; it is a very bendable material that is hard to crack or break, and is much better than cheap abs plastic.it is professionally made, and the screw at the end is due to the inch that needs to be cut off. the screw is so small and is the color black that it is barely visable.

May I suggest that you put a slight "return" on that portion of the lip end so that it closes the lip off at the inner fender and finishes off it nicely where it ends at the wheel well. That is also where the screw/fastener could be used if it is absolutely essential.

~ looks a bit too universal for me ... but ... it's nice to have an option for those who don't swap to the more expensive srt front bumper.

I am intrested however first i have a few questions.

What is the blue thing where the gap is that meets the lip and bumper?

Also i would like if you could take 2 more pictures;
1st - side view of car from say 15 feet back.
2nd - snap picture from the front looking down so i can see how tight the lip mounts to the front of the bumper meaes the 2 bottom grills.
