hey guys i received my ebay front lip today and went to check fitment......well come to find out it seems that i have to bend the lip to fit the front end perfectly. all the holes match up but it looks like i have to soften the lip to get it to bend a little for the very front of the bumper. has anyone else had issues with this or have an easy fix. if i force it on i think the bumper will flare out by the tires and i a not wanting that at all. right now its freezing cold about -10 outside or i would take pictures. ill post some up tomorrow when its a little warmer.

 

I would wait til it warms up. Working with plastic like that is gonna be hard in the cold. If u really want it done now. Bring the bumper inside and work on it just remember the bumper wont be as rigid as when its on the car. I would just wait til spring get your heat gun out and get some molding trim if its a minor gap and hit her hard then

 

Lol I completely understand the cold weather thing. My buddy recruited me to help him swap some engines in his hondas in 5 degree weather this week.

But yes. I would wait until it starts to get warmer, it would be easier to work with. Plus if it snows around you or something you won't risk getting it ripped off.

 

Use a good heat gun
Bring it inside
And heat that sucker up slowly and bolt up as u go

 

thanks for the input guys!!!!

 

i found it easier to install my front lip with the bumper off.

Can you post a link on the lip you purchased? Also pics?

 

Many ebay lips are like this. They are not prefect and take some elbow grease to get them to fit right.

 

+1 u worry much less when you scuff it up a bit on the road
