Installed a new lip but...

Hey !! I installed a new lip and bumper vents pics coming soon BTW .. but im driving now and noticed that im getting lots of wind noise from the front end of the car ...the vehicle is not lowered and and I removed the bottom plastic panels when i removed the stock lip...Do i need to install all the drip panels back? maybe the wind is coming from under the car?

Interesting. I'm sure someone who has lips on their 8 will chime in. I don't think the bottom of the car has anything to do with the wind noise though.

Odd, I have a lip and no wind noise. Check all parts - make sure its on there tight.
