Hey guys I replaced my radiator support and got a new OEM front bumper with an carbon fiber SE style lip on. Is it just me or the front bumper is tilting up? Is it normal? Or did I do something wrong when installing the new radiator support? Any insight? Couldn't find a good picture on Google to compare it to.


Every hole bolt up perfect I don't know why it's tilting up like that.

A buddy of mine say it could just be the lip, is that possible??

It looks like just the lip to me. If you look at the line between the bumper and the lip, it looks parallel with the ground like it should.

 

I really hope it just the lips. Maybe bad quality lip?

 

Looks like the rear of the lip could have been installed "too low"

Who installed the lip?

 

I'm the one who install it. I line it up to where the gap is at on the bumper. It doesn't fit perfect but it's as close as I could get it to. I'll post it a close up in the morning.

So you think it's just the lips too?

 

Try removing the lip. See if it "looks okay" without the lip.

 

^agreed looks like the lip, but try removing the lip to see if its the bumper or the lip

 

This is the front view and with the lip off.

How it look to u guy? Just the lip?

 

Still looks tilted up but not as much without the lip to me, it aligns up on the fenders fine?

 

Yeah all the hole on the bumper line up good. Had to pull the two side a bit to bolt it but everything else line up good. Idk what else it could be.

 

Is the bumper a replica? The side shot without the lip looks pretty straight if you look at that line that appears to flow with the top of the side skirts. Very bottom appears to tilt up a bit.

 

Looks fine to me ... Just zip tie from back of the lip under it and pull the front of the bumper down and attach somewhere like your front tow hook feel free to pm I'll send you a pic

 

I doubt this will help but here:

Notice bumper has not been bolted up. I tested fitted it when I got it. I also noticed mine was tilted up but thought it was a illusion of the clashing colors. Its funny you have a GG bumper and I needed a WW.


If anybody has pick of a OEM Stock SE lip or OEM lip that would great. Did your Evo 9 bumper come with all oem hardware? like mesh, foam insulation, metal brackets attached behind the bumper.

 

No it's OEM paid 640ish for it from Mitsubishi.

 

The bumper came with nothing but the bumper. I switch all my stuff from my old bumper over to the new one.
