Urethane Lip Fitment

[azeli73]

Tell me what you all think. The driver side wraps around the fender and fits great between the fog light and lower grill. The passenger side however sticks out and doesn't wrap around the fender right. This is causing a bad gap between the fog and lower grill (see pictures). Anyone else out there get a urethane lip like this?

that doesn't look right man.. i've got fiberglass and it fits a lot better than that.. so snug all the way around it scratches my paint

dont take this the wrong way......but i dont think most of the people install the lip right. you should have very small gaps, but nothing like in the pic above. did you screw in the sides?

 

[azeli73]

I did it the RIGHT way. I used automotive plastic fastners just like the wheel wells have on our MP5's. Not tiny metal screws that DG provided.

the first 2 pics look bad... my autoexe lip fits perfect. try get a refund if u can, but if u are going to work the lip with bondo, good luck!

I used auto fasteners too....no luck...still doesn't fit right under the fogs...

hum...............it looks like its not pulled back all the way on to the bumper. here let me find a pic for you.

Lock it down with some beter hardware. If that fails, there is always bondo and some new paint.

thats how most of our urethane lips look. be glad you have a black car. my gaps are very noticeable because my car is white. it bothers me, but i could always get it molded on later on.....

hmmm... to get one or not.

I think it's because of the middle part of the lip was made too wide. As of result, the lip is being pushed upward by the curve on the bumper (where the arrows are pointing), and because of this it also created the gap by the fog light.

Full Front Skin from a body kit...If you are really bothered by it might be your only good solution.

if you can get the 3m tape to work you can actually fix alot of that

I noticed when I screwed mine in, it would totally fix the back ends of the lip, but then offset the front fitment. I didn't have time before i ran into that shopping cart to try it with the tape correctly, so who knows.

also, I didn't think to mention that because its hot where you are its going to affect it as well. I had bigger gaps on hot days, once again because I only had 2 screws, no tape.

looking at the pic, i notice that on my lip the center section sit's back all the way on the bumper. the center section of my lip sits right up against the lower grill. if that was the case on this lip it would pull back the lip on to the bumper and git rid of the gaps in the pic. also try place 3m tape along the whole center section that rest on the bumper. just my fedback

110 degrees during the day and about 180 degrees on the surface of the streets make any sort of double sided sticky tape a moot point. the way the lip is in its natural state is much more apparent on hot days where it would detape itself and end up looking like it does in the pictures. from far away, the lip looks killer, but from up close, it looks a little 2loww.

i thought the tape was heat activated. i couldnt get it to stick because it was only 60* outside and no hairdryer, heatgun.

the tape on my eyelids, you literally can not get off without cracking something

eli said that he's tried every tape available. it'll look ok for a few hours, and he'll be stoked on it, then boom, back to its gappy self. and the urethane lips i guess are so flexible, they ship with the sides folded in on the front, so if anything, i'd think it would have stayed in its flexed state, but nope-- goes right back to not fitting right.
