Rkp front lip fitment
Anyone have issue with their lip not fitting properly? My passenger side looks like shit. coming off the bumper. About a 1/4” gap. Never experienced this w/rkp products.

Should not be the case, can you please email us at support@ind-distribution.com with photos and perhaps we can give you some suggestions.

Reply sent over. My guess is the car has ceramic coating which is causing the 3M tape to not adhere properly. Also please make sure that the installer used the 3M promoter that we add to each shipment. We have now shipped/Sold 150+ RKP front lips for the F90 M5 with zero issues.

It’s real. I don’t buy fake products if I can avoid. Now do you have any suggestions after all of the questions? Or do I have to post screenshots.

Yeah, I saw that shortly after I took the pic and have since re-secured both corners by pulling them up and re-seating the double-sided tape. IMO it’s not sticking as perfect as I would like, but it’s fitting a bit more flush than before. Good Eye!

I did the same thing. Tried to re seat it but once water gets in there after a couple weeks of driving the tape just pulls away from the bumper, starting from the outside edge.
I am convinced the lips are slightly warped. We might need to move to PM before IND-Distribution starts asking if yours is “genuine”. |

Let us know if you need anything support and we will take care of you (support@ind-distribution.com). Anyone reading this thread, please make sure that the installers uses the 3M adhesive promoter (make sure that the promoter is on for 5 mins before adding the lip) that we include in the box and also make sure that the 3M tape is not going over any ceramic coatings. We have now shipped/sold 150+ F90 front lips and the feedback from my body tech is that the lip is perfect.

I personally didn’t install this RKP Lip, as I needed a lift (my ramps just won’t work on my F90 but works great on my E60 550i) so Ryan@IND recommended “PSI Precision Sports Industries“ in East Orlando which is very close to where I live. They seemed to be experienced and appeared to do a great job and for a reasonable price. I’ll continue to keep an eye on it in the time being and if I need assistance, I’ll give you a shout! Thanks! Ps. I purchased the Lip from Autotalent - https://autotalent.com/products/rkp-...RoCmisQAvD_BwE Last edited by bradleyjs; 08-22-2019 at 07:18 PM.. Reason: Clarity and Ps. |

I don't like that you're telling someone not to share their experience with the rest of us. As you can see, clutched was able to help another member by posting his experience. Imagine if bradleyjs hadn't been made aware of the issue with his lip. We all know what happens to these motors when something punctures the oil cooler.

Out of curiosity, is there any true difference between the RKP and RW Carbon lip? I know RKP was the first to market and RW Carbon essentially copied their design, but is there any actual difference in quality?
