EK Mugen Lip Install ?????

[EK_96]

hey guys i just got a mugen front lip from JDM Yard n i need sum help on the install ... can anyone show me a DIY thread? step by step ? pics ? thanks guys

[hisoka]

genuine or fake.


guessing fake.

take off front bar. line the lip on as much as you can on one side. get a lighter and burn the self tapping screws it came with till there glowing or almost glowing , then impact it throught the lip by screwing until it goes in a fair way then leave it, for about 20 seconds then continue screwing. you wanna melt it slightly throught he lip, otherwise these self tapping screws dont do to much through a ABS plastic lip

then lining up the second side is harder because the lips have got shit fit, you have to really stretch it then do the same trick.

hope it helps and no i dont have photos

You put on the lip...ull see on either side of ur front bar on/in the wheel arch there are 2 places meant for drilling screws for lips, drill there, put in screws, ur done! (remember to allign the lip properly before drilling!)

[Raztaz]

his got a fake lip .lol, doesnt fit like how easy your saying it

mine is fake, and thats how i did it. I had a frend hold the lip in place while i drilled from the inside of the front bar, a tiny hole so i knew where the holes wer on the front bar. THEN form the outside i drilled in the screws in the points i marked with the small holes

[hisoka]

ohh true true, nice nice. i was by myself when i did mine and didnt wanna drill while holding.

i used a screw driver and a lighter.

the lip his talking about isnt really long enough, you have to make it fit.

EDIT: in that photo is the lip fitting like that on the other side ?

[Raztaz]

mine was short by a tiny bit haha, sooo fustrating, me n my frend starting pulling the lip lol under some heat and bend the bit wer u screw out a bit lol

recommend u have 2 ppl with u wen u put ur lip on OP!

edit: yep, it took a good part of the day to do lol, u can see thers a slight gap in that photo, same goes for other side, but hey, its a fake replica lol

definantly 2 people operation... i lined it up, stretched it was much as i could... used a drill bit to drill small holes in the lip for my screws, then screwed some self tapering screws straight into the bumper... fakes don't fit too well obviously... "good from far, far from good"... lol

[chauster]

i just realised someone took my front lip at box hill yesterday night

[hisoka]

u sure it didnt come off on highway lol~

[chauster]

no. they dont come off that easy do they? the screws are still there.

[hisoka]

yeah there hard to take off, from impacts, i hit my one everywere

but easy with a screw driver to take off in carpark

what you saying, the screws still in bar but lip missing

[chauster]

yep. all the screws still there but lip is gone. i never hit anything so i have no clue

[hisoka]

thats wierd. how would they have taken it off, cant rip it off, cause front bar would come off lol~

[EK_96]

hey guys im doing it now ... would i screw 2 screws on each side inside the wheel arch ? then anywere els ? where would i put the double sided tape? in the middle ?

[Raztaz]

maybe they felt bad half way thru n gave u ur screws back...? lol

2 screws on either side, ull see 2 indents and thats where the screws are meant to go in. Tape in the middle if you want, its not overly necessary
