I just had a body shop install my OEM front lip and have a question on the installation. I have a rubber molding that runs the length of the lip, in other words the lip does not sit flush against the bumper. Basically, the black rubber molding about eighth inch thick is beween the top of the lip and the bumper.

I've seen alot of pictures but never noticed any type of molding or is it that I just didn't see it. I've looked at the instructions and it makes no mention of any type of molding.

I would appreciate any info....if the install is done incorrectly I would take my car back and have it corrected.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

 

Thats how it is. same thing on mine and i did the install
The lip comes with that on it.

 

how much was the installation?

 

Thanks that answers my question, I guess I never noticed the molding before. Looking at the instructions if I were to take the lip off there would be 4 small screw holes on the front of the bumper and 2 inside the wheel well? I thought I ask you since you installed yours. I know that 2 are in the center of the bumper and I was wondering if you were to install the license plate would it hide the holes also, how noticable would the 2 outer holes be?

I'm wondering how noticable it would be if I took the lip off when I decide to sell the car?

After looking at the instructions, I didn't want to screw it up so I paid $120 to have it installed. Ray at the body shop said it was 2 hours worth of labor.

 

it will be noticeable, the holes aren't that small.
