ok just got my Junction Produce lip back from paint and put it on. now what do i do about these 2 gaps? is there anything this side of getting a body shop involved that i can do myself? please help a guy out if you can!!!

 

Short of bondo...i dont think so. You could try mounting a brace under those sectoins and pulling it toward the stock bumper a little more.

 

hmm nice lip! where exactly did you get them from?

edit: nevermind, did some search, lips looks great, yeah I would try the 3m double side tape...

 

seeing a fair amount of photos of lips and body kits. if THOSE are your only gaps, Id do a little jig. thats a fantastic fit, and I wouldnt sweat those gaps.

if thats absolutely unacceptable, could try some 3m double sides tape... but probably wont help. filling it would require some touch up painting. and thatd probably involve a body shop.

 

i know it really is being "nitpicky"!! i have plenty of double sided tape left from taping the middle section but the problem is, the edges of my lip are rolled and not flat, so very little surface to work with and it is fibreglass. needless to say, the double sided tape didn't hold

 

Not sure what the kit's made of, but a heat gun can work wonders.

 

might mess up the paint job though. thatd be a risky bet.

 

where did you get that lip????and how much did it cost you? THanks

 

I too am incredibly nitpicky. So nitpicky, that i'm going back to the shop to have my cwest molded on. hehe.

 

those gaps are not even bad. Their not even noticeable compared to my greddy lip. I love the greddy lip but it does leave gaps...

 

If it's urethane, take it off, get a mini blow torch and heat it up from a safe distance from the back of the lip as to not melt the paint then bend as you heat to the contours of the bumper.. it should work. I've done this to numerous dents on bumpers and it works fine.. no problem here. Just remember not to leave the torch to close and not to heat one place for too long...

 

yep, its urethane! Ill try and do that! Thanks

 

If u really wanted to fix it you could shave the inner rear parts down thatt contact the bumper. Or u could try more double sided tape under those areas to hold it up.

 

I think the gap is acceptable, and the lip looks great. If you do the torch technique let us know how it works out.

 

I heard somewhere that clear silicone glue might work... but I have not real experience so that's just hearsay...

 

looks fine your just all hype up over your new mod in about a month or two you wont even pay attention to it it looks fine and if you cant handle it sell the **** then.

 

im lil worried the paint might come off...err

Its winter in NJ, heating the bumper while its 20 deg. out might not be a good idea. Im not sure but i think ill wait till summer.
