this is why you dont buy 'replica' stuff


you probably bought a 2002-2003 lip instead of 2004-2005

it looks like you got it up too high...push it down so the top of the lip sits against the bottom of the bumper...then bend the sides around

IF thats the fake usdm mugen style lip ... it fits, it just fits like **** ... take off the bolts you already drilled ... and try putting it on from the wheel wells first, then work it forward... its crooked as **** on the side in your pic

IF ITS NOT the usdm one, as in REAL Mugen then it does NOT fit, period.

hope that helps.

It's a replica, what do you expect. Take that crap back and get an OEM front lip.

I know a guy with an 04 that had cut the sides of his bumper to make it fit. Looked like ***! Sad to mess up a perfectly brand new car for such cheap parts.
