Alright....so I've put it in a hot bath and used a hair blower to try and fit it. As you can see, it's coming up short. I can stretch it by hand and it will come over the edge a bit, but not enough. Any suggestions to get this to fit? I don't wanna have to chop it even though if it comes to that, the edges won't really be noticeable...

Your got a way to go in order for it to fit. You might only have the option of cutting it...

I'm not positive it's suppose to, cause I got no instructions with it. I tried putting it against the bumper in place of the stock lip and it was a no go. Plus, there's no brackets/hardware with the lip so if I can use the exisitng lip to blot it on, that would be the best option. I'll see how it goes tonight....

the picture of it on a lancer on ebay looks like it's on an ES, so I'm thinking its not suppose to fit over the stock lip because the ES's don't have a lip to start with. You'll probably just have to be creative with mounting it.

have you tried to fit it with the stock one off? sorry i did not read the entire post but it looks like it is a replacement for the stock one. If it fits without the stock one on then I am guessing you will have to get some good 3m double sides tape and a bunch plastic push pins and start drilling holes.

Yeah I just brought my bumper inside. It doesn't fit with the stock lip off. Still too short. I'll have cut the ends but If i fold them out they'll extend to the edge of the bumper. I have double sided tape so I'll just have to make sure it's really secure.

So the lip looked good. Really aggressive. Except it's too short. I cut the edges that wrap around but there's about a 2cm edge on each side where it's too short so I won't use it. I might cut the middle and see if I can mold it to the lower lip like one of those lips with a gap in the middle. ****ty.

If I were you man, I'd just cut that piece off at the very end that bolts on the inside of the fender, get a small black piece of plastic and use some filler on both sidesand just sand it down on both sides
