Default CTR aftermarket lip...fitment HELP PLEASE...

Alright guys:

I bought a knock off front and rear CTR ABS plastic lip. Have any of you bought one?
I painted them, tried to install them. Rear fits perfect. Front is a bitch. Went to SonicBoom Motorsports, here in New Orleans to see if they can help me. We tried, but it is coming up 1/4'' short on each side. One side cracked a little bit...they said that they installed somebefore, but had to get a bodyshop to cut the bumper. WTF. I dont feel like going through that trouble.

I know I should have never bought a replica, so dont say " REAL CTR" dont feel like hearing that, I just want help with my problem...


So, How did you guys get your front lip to fit?

completely center the lip on the bumper so there are equal lengths on both sides to wrap around.

I ordered two lips from ebay..I had the same problem. I thought my CTR lip was short too till I got pissed and drilled on side on first and bend the lip just barely enough to screw in...I didn't crack it either amazingly

Mine was a super tight fit too but to make it easy leave it out in the sun for a while to loosen up or try a hairdryer. It should made it a bit more flexible and easy to work with.

heat the lip up with a hair dryer or heat gun, but don't leave it on there to long. Thats all I can think of.
