Just a "CTR" lip tonight and having fititment problems. It's too short and it won't fit onto the other side.







Is there anything I can do?

ps-dont mind the gay muffler...

 

Where did you buy it.. doesn't look like that's going to fit.

 

Someone local. It fit perfectly fine on his.

 

if it's urethane, you just have to STRETCH that bitch!! my 94-97 ITR lip (replica) was a TIGHT fit. at first it didn't seem like it would fit good. after putting it on i realized it was tight so there would be no gaps.

 

Try this... put the sides on FIRST, then try to push it up once you get sides on.

 

Try putting it lower on the bumper then work it upwards once the sides are on.

Humm good idea. I'll try it t/m morning. Hope it works

 

yea thats how i did mine as well. i have a wings west real lip and it fit somewhat kinda like yours. i just put the sides on first and pushed the lip up and everything went well

 

i kinda installed mine similar. i screwed one corner first then stretched it to the other side and followed with boltin the front portion

Mine fits like a$$ too. I did the same thing, but the middle portion of the lip sags from time to time. Looks like a$$ too. I'm just gonna toss mine and get a new one soon.

The guy told me to use some 3m double sided tape for the middles. Try that.

 

if that's abs plastic, it's too cold for it to mold correctly. you gotta use a heater or a blow dryer to warm that sucka up so that it'll bend and stretch a little. i remember trying to do my friend's mugen lip on his EK. didn't fit for crap until i spent like an hour blow drying it. and even then, it was still hard to get it on.

If I try to stretch it, will the paint come off?

 

i wouldn't think it would.
