can you put together some instructions off the top of your head on how to make this lip fit?

 

just out of curiosity, are the mounting points the same for the oem journey lip and oem sport lip?

 

Do you have any more pics? Definitely looks great from the front. Love that it retains the character of the stock bumper, just more aggressive. The sport lip changes the look of the front end and with time, I like it less and less.

 

i agree which is why I want to make the switch.

 

come on!! share your secrets!! where, if anywhere, are the gaps? I will be tackling this project very soon.

 

There really isn't a secret for this. You just have to shave both sides of the bumper to make the lip fit. But, if you shave too much, the gap will be noticeable. So first, you take the measure on both sides where you're gonna be putting the lip on and make a tiny mark, and then you start working your way down to the bottom of the bumper.

Also, it might not seem necessary, but you might wanna go to Home Depot to get some double L-shaped brackets that look like ┗━┓. Then, use the included instruction to find out the bolt on position and screw the bolts in place along with the clip washers that comes with the kit. It'll take a while to measure and fab the brackets to fit, but at the end, it'll all be worth the time. I used dremel to shape the brackets BTW... with some trial and error... hahahaha

More importantly, it'll be MUCH easier if you have at least 2 people working on it together... and the 3rd person might be better to check the fitment from the front.

 

Oh and I forgot to mention that the hardest part of all this was to MAKE YOUR OWN MOUNTING POINTS since the mounting points from the instruction will NOT work with the sport bumper... obviously.

Good luck!

 

thanks for those tips and instructions. I will be passing them along to my body shop. Im not going to try and tackle this one. This one is up to them while they fit and paint my replica TK wing....

 

Any chance we can see a side profile pic? Sorry if you already posted. I quickly browsed the thread and didn't see a picture posted or link. TIA!
