Default Any advice before i put on my replica lip kit?

i just got my fiberglass replica oem lip kit for my rsx type s.
the front and rear pieces fit over the bumbers and im kinda of worried that
over time the lip kit might eventually wear down the paint on the bumbers
so do reccommend using anything on the inside of the front and rear lip so their not rubbing on eachother, thanks in advance

if you tape the lip correctly, around the edges then the lip should never come in contact with the bumper.

use 3m double sided adhesive tape, found at your local autobody supply store.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... once water hits the tape its like glue. it will be on there perminantly. if you rip it off theryll be peices of the tape everywhere. youll have to SCRAPE it off. personally i would never install any thing that would do something like that on my car.
