I scored on an OEM mugen style lip from jdmsh!t for my ej1 and I have been having problems installing it. It is used and it doesn't not come with a mounting kit. I have tried using strong double-sided tape but it would not last long staying on my bumper. the material of the lip is urethane and is pretty heavy but strong. any solutions to this problem? anyone having this same problem with this lip?


here is a picture of the lip:

My friend bought one and just put 2 screws on each side, it's held up since the beginning of summer.

 

two screws (and washers if you'd like) on both sides where it meets the bumper. I've installed all 3 of my lips like that and none have ever fallen off / broken

 

u can also put screws up through the bottom of the lip into the underside of the bumper.. no one will even see they are there and you will feel a little safer

this would not work for me because the lip is heavy in the middle

i will probably try this idea

 

i did on mine... i used these little metal clips that fit around the bottom of the lip as a washer and screwed it right into my bumper

 

what type of double side tape did u use? at walmart they have 3m outdoor double sided tape, or 3m automotive double sided tape u can use.

 

i didnt use double sided tape... its a joke.. i had a lip with just that and the screws on the side... it ripped off at 65 on the freeway.. i would only put the tape there to hold it in place as i am bolting the lip on

 

follow wingswest installation procedures is what i did. i belive it is 2 screws on each side and one in the middle with bracket.

do you have any pics that show the metal clips on the bottom of the lip. just curious

 

i dont right now.. .i think they are called speed washers if i remember

 

you should get the 3m double sided tape. it comes in a red packaging and its so strong u cant rip the lip off with your hands even if u wanted to. thats what the lip originally had in the first place to attach it to your bumper.
