Default JDM **** 94-97 lip all bent... help with fix

I just purchasd a JDM **** for my 96 DB8 and it came folded in half like some ebay shipped ****. Does anyone know how I can remove the creases on the lip? This really sucks to pay $149.00 for a lip and they cant even ship the **** decently. So far I am not happy with the shitty lip.

barring that....I'd ask for a refund or an exchange for something that is shipped properly. Good luck with the fix and let us know how it turns out

yeah i had the same problem, but I bought it off a member here and it came folded at two points. tried the heating method and it worked but you can still see a slight fold from where it was folded before.

Every polyurethane ITR lip I have seen has been shipped folded in half, comptech, ebay, watever. Your supposed to leave it in the sun for a day or two, or if your in a colder area leave it by a heater duct in the house or take a blow dryer to it.

Comptechs come folded in half too. Just unfold it, leave it in the sun and it will straighten out. Or use a blowdryer...no big deal. Why do you think its so cheap to ship it?

if you get a CF lip shipped to you it won't be bent because it can't be bent....is the answer to this guys problem SO hard to comprehend?
