hey guys,
recently purchased a front and rear lip from JDM Yard. however when it came to attached the lips, i found out that they were not made to fit exaclty, the archs of the car are curved, but the lips had straight edges.

i was wondering if anyone knows any places in Melbourne that can attached both the front and rear lip for me ?

thanks

yeah replica lips can be a bastard to fit - you kinda need 2 ppl to help bend them on and get the bolts in

the other 2 options are to just get a panel and paint place to fit it for you

OR

you can pay a panel and paint place to plastic weld the lip to the front bar so they look like the same peice and color match the whole thing - but this is really expensive - looks amazing tho

As mentioned by The Saint, replica lips are a bitch to fit.
If it helps take off the front bar first and get some help forcing it on.

Genuine OEM Lips are easy as. I've never had any problems, perfect fitment every time.
