man...
my brother took my car to work, and he drove on the freeway...and on his way to work, he told me that my spoon lip flew off ...i told him not to drive on the freeway...cause i knew that lip wasnt on secure...how did i know?...cause him and his friend only used 2 bolts to put it on ...

what do u guys use to keep ur lip on SECURE AND TIGHT?

please help, give me some advice

 

9 bolts

 

used zip ties before, although i don't recommend it. it did stay on though (til it broke)

 

4 screws, 100mph safe so far

for screws

 

thnx for advices...

some1 also suggested rivets...
but im to lazy to do a a research on a rivet...
cause im dum like that....

some1 know anything about this "rivets"???

 

just use screws with nuts and be done with it

 

Yeah.. go to sears, buy some rivets and a riveter.. This will require you to pre-drill holes for the rivets to be popped in to...

Drill one hole on each side, and some under the lip and in to the bumper if possible with your particular lip.. Then just stick the pointed end of the rivet in to the hole, grip the riveter until it pops hard, and let go.. POOF, your rivet is in and the lip is tightly held to the bumper.. the problem with rivets is the removal.. screws and bolts can be removed easier...

Also, if you are installing the lip on a painted lip, there is a chance that the jolt from the riveter, or the tightness of the rivet might cause the paint to chip..

But just for the record, rivets and riveters are cheap.. great tool for when you need to fix random things.. I used it for a VIN swap for my dash when I swapped dashes. I then used it to hold the door prop for my screen door when the screw ripped out from high winds.

 

oh wow thanks...

new to the site...yet im lovin it already...
so quick on the replies...and oh so helpful!!

ty ty so much!

 

oh wow, my brother just called...
said he'll get me a new lip...

any suggestions on what lip to get?
another spoon lip perhaps?

oh and i have a question on that lip i had on before...
it WASNT a CF SPOON LIP...but its looks like a spoon lip....
but all the pictures of a spoon lip ive seen online were all CF...
was mine a fake one? and/or do they just call those replicas?

this is the only recent pic i have...and yes thats the so called spoon lip!!!!
is that fake or something? are "spoon lips" suppose to be CF? lol
sorry i dont have a front view of the lip

and sorry for the noob-ness

 

Was it painted white or was that a bare unpainted lip? I don't believe spoon sells lips made of a white material. who knows though.

I believe the lip should be black urethane or CF

 

thats how the lip came...
so im thinking its a fake?

...but it looks exactly like a spoon lip
i dont know...im such a noob lol

 

how much did you pay

if its 120 or under
its probably a spoon style lip

 

use four bolts and some double sided tape mine has been on my car for about a year now with no problems

 

I use all the stock bolts and 2 on each side of the fender.

 

my SiR lip is held by two screws on each side and three in the middle. SOLID!

 

ive use 2 screws and double sided tape have had it up to 136 mph and still good to go

 

that lip is prolly fake

 

2 screws worked fine for me, but who knows..

 

oh good. not a real spoon lip!

 

real spoon lip cost around 500 range. if you didnt pay close to that its fake and spoon only made cf lips i believe but i might be wrong

 

oem bolts and hardware, why anything less?!?!

 

8 bolts+washers are holding my OEM lip on.

 

oem bolts WITH zipties

 

5 bolts and double sided tape
