..So, my wonderful fiance got me a rear lip for an early birthday present..! She couldnt wait for me to get it so she even had it shipped to my school.....yup, she's amazing!! I picked it up yesterday evening and didn't get a chance to put it on till about midnight. So I went out and put it on. Took me about 2 hours and had some fitment problems. I knew that it still had to be fitted better so I had some time this afternoon to tinker with it.

I've put together some before and after shots...fitment is a whole lot better IMO, any tips would be great..! Thanks.

BEFORE:


For the most part it fit well. The passenger side was flush with the rear wheel well but this is what the driver side looked like:


So, what lies there is the problem.

what I did was take my bumper off this time and tried to mount the lip:


Looked through a couple writeups on CC and on H-T, added some supports for the middle and fooled around with it a lil more and got it to fit better.

AFTER:






I'm not going to keep it black. It will be painted this spring.

 

id screw the ends on the bumper, then where ever the middle touches the bumper double side tape it. you dont want it to hang too low or sit too much into the bumper.

 

^^^^

thats exactly what i did.

 

Great fitment!

 

nice

 

 

Thanks for the comments so far...!

 

 

looks fresh

 

It'll look really nice once the lips are painted.

 

Damn, wish my better half would have gotten me a birthday present (thats right, she didn't get me **** )

 

paint it ftw!

 

that lip is for a 99-00 bumper

 

looks like you got it to fit well, it will look really nice painted

I thought that there might be a difference. The auction said 96-00. I checked the wrap that it came in and the sticker on it says 99-00...SO...I just might be up for a trade, if anyone wants to trade for a 96-98 rear lip.
