jesusv Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Looking good. I am going to color match mine but this also looks tempting. I say GO FOR IT! If you don't like it, take it off and then paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailKill Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you don't like it, take it off You sound like me:lol: I originally had my whole grill plasti-dipped, then painted the whole thing, then just plasti-dipped the wing section. Its been like that for well over a year without any blemishes. The surround on the other hand, is chipped to shit. I thing I'm going to just re plasti-dip it. I love the stuff!

jesusv Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 OHHHHHH!!! BABY!!!!!... I tried to install mine at Lunch... FAIL! Looks like I'll be taking the bumper off.... I really wanted to avoid this..... argh! Why do you have to take off the bumper? If it's a matter of space under the car, you could always lift the car on some lifts. I think it would be easier to lift the car and leave the front bumper on. It'll provide a much steadier platform to screw the screws in and to mold the lip around the bumper. Just my 2 cents.

GTEASER Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Spidey, I would recommend NOT taking the bumper off for install. It helps if you are doing the install in a warm place and use ramps or jack up the car and put it on jackstands. Prop the lip up in the center, 2 or 3 places, and duct tape the ends in place, then stretch and duct tape the center. Start at the ends by putting the first 2 or 3 screws in at each end. Make sure it is centered and stretch the lip to align it in the middle, place 1 screw in the middle. Then go back to the ends where you left off, stretch and hold it in place for each screw and alternate sides back to the middle, ensuring that it is lined up evenly on both sides. Good Luck. I did it by myself in about an hour. Def not something you want to try to rush on lunch break in a parking lot.

The screws will go right in with a little pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worth Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Installed mine today. Looks good, will try to get a couple pics up tomorrow. Only problem is I park underground, and for me to get up I climb up a 30 degree ramp. I definitely bottomed out the front of the car on my first attempt. The grade is so steep that I have bottomed out the car before without the lip and stock suspension. When I get my RCE blacks on the car, it might force me to move.

DeltaSniper Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Has anyone tried to use the factory clips to secure the lip? EG; drill holes big enough for the factory clip in the lip and just use that with the preexisting holes in the bumper for the clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worth Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I think someone in this thread did. It didn't work from what I recall. There are 17 screws that hold this thing on. I do not think the factory clips are strong enough or can apply enough pressure to hold the lip on correctly. Here are some pics of the lip installed. Car is dirrrrty, sorry.
