had it since 2008, im glad u like it, its the nicest full lip and is OEM for our cars. btw, make sure you fasten your sides there i see it popping out. put doublesided it should help keep it in and if it doesnt use oem fastener or a self tapping screw.

Yea I was thinking about doing something like that. This is a carbon fiber btw. It's a replica. I never worked with Carbon fiber before so I'm scared I might crack it when I try to drill holes. Lol. But I'm thinking about using double sided tape. -------------------- |

If its carbon fiber, then it should withstand some harsher treatment
 I like this front lip so I bought one a few years ago. Then, when I had been working on the design of my Celi, I included this lip to the project. |

Scary thought. you should be fine, not all CF products fit exactly. even my OEM ones needed a fastener. just make sure its aligned everywhere before you fasten it.

I personally think the Tom's lip looks best on the 96+ post-face lift bumpers. For the GT4 bumpers and the pre-face lift, the best lip would be the RARE TRD from lip. If not that then go with the GT4 splitters. Sad to know that you threw away such a rare item. This post has been edited by ILoveMySilly97: Nov 23, 2012 - 11:29 PM -------------------- |
