  • Best way to stop your front lip from falling off.

    yo - my front lip/spoiler or whatever the lingo is... keeps commin off, whats the best way to keep it there without using 600 zip-ties?



    any help would be great.

    and yep my VR6 is lowered and yep im mega careful when parking and goin over bumps, thats kinda obvious.

      i just use 1 zippy in the middle and 1 on each of the sides.
      you could probably use like a silicone type glue maybe?

        mine was a ****ty batch from france,
        so i took the bar off, drilled small holes into the mounts, and ran wire through them twice...
        come up a treat and it doesnt come off at all

          yep, next step for me was to go under the car drill some holes and throw on some large washers and screw it on.

          i was posting to see what methods you guys use...

            yeah i tried that, found that the vibrations ended up unscrewing the screws,
            also, cable tie the two pieces together, can never had enough protection

                I prefer to leave them unsecured. Best to rip your spoiler off than rip your bumper off because your lip is secured nicely.

                    yep 2 zip-ties that go through the mounting holes in the front section has worked and does not look tooo shabby.

                    it normally would bust open at the front and start skidding along the ground, however now its staying on yay!

                    thanks for your comments.

                        When I got mine my front bumper lower section that you'd normally affix the lip to was stuffed and so I had to put a couple of screws around the front and one on each side to keep it on there. It stayed on and copped a lot of abuse and my car wasn't even lowered. I don't know how some people have these lips on slammed cars, must be mega dedicated and careful.

                          when you have a low car you learn to drive in a different way haha. But even then, mine takes quite a beating only being 7cm off the ground. got the euro lip only like a week ago and its already cracked in a couple places :S will definately get an oem one next time, theyre invisible

                            I ****in' love the stock duckbills. VR6 deep lip was cool for a while but that just got in the way of lowering it further
