what is some decent tape to use for putting this lip on? wings west went under so I can't contact them.. i'm also putting this in the appearance/cosmetic forum to get feedback from them too. also, what shoudl I use to repair cracks/holes in this lip? it's urethan ein case you didn't know.. thanks

 

If I was you I'd take it to a body shop that knows how to install lip kits. The extra money you'll spend to have someone do it right the first time will pay off in the long run. I learned that the hard way.

 

3m double sided, from the hardware store

get the red one

not the green one

 

i have about 15 screws holding my front lip on, unnoticeable i may add...

 

well I pulled a wwrs lip off an extra bumper that someone had riveted it to and used screws in the middle, the screws pulled the lip up off the bumper in whatever way it wanted to, i'd have to look at it because I can't remember what there was to screw into, but it seems like such a pain in the ***, i definatly liek the piece of mind knowing the lip is more than just taped onto the bumper, but screws would probably pull it out of wack... where are the screws in yoru lip? how many?

 

i would tape it and then screw it in the holes from where the oem lip was and use the metal clips to hold the screws

 

wings west is back.

heres the instructions.

on top of the 3m tape, use an adhesive promotor. It makes the lip stick like concrete.

Exactly, and be sure its the heavy duty tape and you clean the surface before putting it on.....No need to waste money taking it to a body shop, you can just do it yourself

 

for xtra tuffness you can rub a sealing primer down. its sold at many stores. we have it at home depot we put it between 2 cement blocks and now its almost impossible to get them apart.

 

weird, i went to the wings west site a few days ago and the installation page I saw was different from that, it dind't even say anything about 3m tape and was pretty detailed and 3 pages long
