I waited for two weeks to get my Seibon CF VS front lip. When it gets here i look it over to make sure there isnt any damages from shipping. Looks fine, Until... i try to put it on my car! the freaking things is about an inch short!
I have an 03 Z, not an 06-07 so i know it is supposed to fit. Now what do i do?

post a test fit pic and contact the vendor.

 

i feel bad for you and all, but did you really need to start 3 threads for one lip?

 

it was Jim at Carbon LTD. i will post a test fit pic in a min

 

well if you must know... the first time i tried my computer lost power... the
2nd was because i was asking about installation before i found my problem. and This is discussing my problem. But hey thanks for looking!

 

this is a gap


this is the pic of it being short

 

no its not short, take the bumper off and push the bottom in, i thought mine was short, but its a rEEEEAAAAAALLLY tight fight, like a virgin on prom nite!, haha

 

wow... Are you sure you're trying to mount it the right way?

I'm sure Jim will do what he can for you if the lip is actually too small.

 

Thanks guys, Jim just sent me a PM and explained about the bumper. I would have never guessed that in order to put a lip on you must remove the entire bumper... But i thought the same about putting new speakers in the rear. take out the entire plastic instead of the grill.

Thanks i'll try to remove the bumper tomo or the next day.

 

Just thought of this..wont the CF crack once it is flexed when the bumper is put back on?

 

its actually pretty strong, but u just have to be carefull. it took 3 people to get my front lip on. just be patient and dont get in a hurry, nothing on our cars its cake...lol but thats what makes it fun! pm me if u got any questions.

 

haha yeah, i will most likely be pm'ing you in the next day or two. Thanks again

 

Yep, like I said in the PM's it's not short you need to take off the bumper.

When the bumper is installed it flexs out more, from the supports and whatnot. When you take the bumper off it reduces the flex, thus making it easier to install. It's mean to be a tight fit. If you don't feel comfortable installing the lip, I suggest having a professional install it. Let me know how it goes !

Jim

 

Once i was told to take the bumper off i decided to take it somewhere. Thanks Jim.

I'll post pics once i get it on!

 

That's probably for the best. Shouldn't cost too much and you know it will be done right. Get me some pics when you get it back !

Jim

 

Well, i went to the local shop today and had my front bumper removed. The lip is still to dmn short. so we measured from the side of the center piece until the begining of the wheel well on the passenger side and it came up short. So i hope he will send me a new one?

 

Still waiting on the PM back from CarbonLTD...

 

Good luck!!!
