Need Pics of 3.5 MSP Lip*Underside*

[Familia323]

Can those of you with a 3.5 MSP and a digital camera do me a favor? I need to see how the 3.5 lip fits onto the bumper from the underside. I ****** up tonight and jacked my bumper up from my own laziness. Long story short I have a small crack on the drivers side of my front bumper... ahh f*ck it I'll just post a few pics....
Without further adieu, my jackass work:

.... Do you think that the lip would fit over this without too many problems?


I'm trying to decide if getting a lip would be a cheaper route than getting a whole new bumper and buying that stupid plastic windspoiler that goes on the bottom.


My most boneheaded move in a while...(bang)

ttt Pleeeeeeeeeeeeassseeeee help me.

Yeah, it should cover it. sorry I don't have any pictures.
What kind of info are you looking for? alignment of the bolts? or which splash guard goes in first?

The lip would cover the lower damage but the upper damage would still have to be repainted . It would probably be cheaper to repair the damage and leave the splitter off the bumper

Part of that. I'm wondering where the bolts align in relation to the crack, and if the bend in the bumper would be a problem.

Would it be possible to have the upper part fixed without having to spray the whole bumper? I already have rock chips on the front bumper anyway, so if the paint wasn't perfect I wouldn't be too upset. I just don't know if the flake would be an issue. If I could find a used Sunlight Silver lip and have that upper part sprayed it might end up costing around the same, and I would just go for that idea instead.

[Familia323]

It's broken in half and I think I threw a few pieces away, do you still want it?

the lip will cover the lower damage without a problem, as for touching up the top portion...i dunno. because of the nature of the job, they may need to take the bumper down to surface and redo the whole thing. its not terribly costly as far as jobs come thankfully.

The only bad thing is, I live in Champaign and I work weekends.

I was afraid that they would have to paint the whole thing, which would mean I'd be better off just buying a new bumper. Unless you know of anyone selling their Sunlight Silver MSP lip for a decent price? Hey Ken, isn't the price of a new front bumper of that style around 220ish?


Oh and if anyone here knows of someone wanting to get rid of their MSP lip please send them my way!
