if you are really worried about it mold it to the bumper. I know its a more expensive to do that but if you want the piece of mind mold it.

I used to use GE Silicon sealer for all kinds of stuff... intake manifold gaskets... sealing bolt-together wheels... how about using that along the top ridge? It wouldn't show because it drys clear.

The only down side would be that it might eat into the paint between the two pieces... but, it wouldn't ever show unless the lip came off.

ive got a clear bra on the bumper so that'll protect it. molding is too permanent and expensive. ill throw it on there with my idea friday and oh well if it comes off.

Do you still have the broken lip? Can you post pics? What failed? The brackets?

^the tape failed. im thinking its not thick enough to stick adequately so thats why im going to try a double layer so make sure it contacts both surfaces.

hopefully it doesnt rain tomorrow so i can put it on. i think 2 layers should be enough to reach but we'll see.

I just wanted to know if there was enough stress on the lip to break off near the brackets. Two layers of tape should fix it. I will do it this weekend.

tons of props to sean for his help and teaching yesterday. we got a ton done on my car - installed rear toe bolts, replaced front speed sensor brackets, replaced differential fluid and installed my new lip.

getting started



up she goes



diff fluid draining - so simple, only 2 caps



sean the perfectionist was smart enough to color the top of the tape so it doesnt show



bottom brackets



sections of tape - we used 3 layers but it seems 4 might have work better in some places



finished product



2 sweet g's
