yes. side to side i guess.. i didnt want to drill into the middle of the bumper, I played with it for awhile, what do you recommend. it wa also about 30 degrees cooler yester when i installed as opposed to today when i played with it..which it seemed more flexible

pic of entire front would help. looks like u have a bit of room to push the lip close to the bumper thus making a little more room for the edge to wrap around the corner more. is ur bumper damaged and it change the shape of it? also wats the reason for u putting the screws like that?

only way to make it grab and stay. theres not enough surface in the back. even if I push that up against the bumper it doesnt wrap around anymore than that. No damage. just cheap =]

maybe start the install from the driver side might help. looks like it sort of fit on the bottom of the corner on the driver side

had mine on for around 8-9k miles and no problems whatsoever. it's been banged around plenty of times.. i actually hit a cat and it didn't move at all... lol, poor cat.

mines screwed in with 2 bolts on each side of the fender then molding tape along the front. here's a couple pics of how it looks:

all i can say is, you get what you pay for... you pay a garbage price and your playing russian roulet in the dark with fitment and quality over time... spend a few dollars and get something that is 1. going to fit without crossing your fingers and 2. something that will last.

Word. I guess if you don't really care about putting junk on your car it's a good route to go?

I can say, when I purchased my Seibon CF lip it fit like a damn glove.

i want a lip sooooo badly cause our stock bumpers look so boring and dull compared to the rest of the car's design, but there is no way one would last on my car lol my stock bumper already scrapes everywhere

also helps during install (the ending side of install) to slide the corner of the lip from the bottom corner of the bumper and slide it upwards
