the other night i was driving at a nice speed
and this stupid cat jumped out.
and i cat went under. i went back to check if the was ok and it just looked at me and walked away.

so then i pulled over and saw that the right hand side of my lip was ripped out from the bolts which was holding it in.

so now i have lots of big holes where the lip is meant to bolt onto.

i was wondering how i can put the lip back on.
this is an OEM lip.

ill take pics tomorrow
when i have time.
i was told to use self taping screws and just drill them in. from the lip to the front bar. do u think ill hold
i want it in before the weekend comes

and the crap think about having to get new lip is that id first need a new front bar so that the bolt with the funny looking clips can slide in.

drill new holes under ur bar and lip man and put some bolts and nuts
mines kinda like that... the oem holes got bigger over time from hitting stuff here and there

so that the next time i hit something it wont rip off

bolts + nuts + big washers. I have the completely wrong lip for my car attached so none of the holes match up.
