Aero lip, is this fitment off?

darkphantom · 06-26-2009, 04:48 PM

So I got my aero lip in the mail today, took a shot at installing it, 5 bolts on the bottom as far as I know. I wanted to know if this is what your aero lips look like too?

No double sided tape used, here are the results.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this what you call poor fitment?

Might be slightly off, but thats what most even oem look like. Take it off and use some tape or beta link.

Looks good but u still need double sided tape for the middle to avoid it from but bulging out like the 4th picture

darkphantom · 06-26-2009, 04:54 PM

gotcha, but what about near the fogs, will it settle in or what?

Yeah you need a help from a friend, get double sided tape, and line it around the contact points where it's gonna meet the bumper...and line it up and apply pressure...make sure u clean the bumper from grime and dirt and shit...u should have no gaps anywhere...it's OEM

on the bottom was already cleaned

I just didn't clean anything else cause I was too lazy, but wanted to see if it fit or what...

darkphantom · 06-26-2009, 05:04 PM

if you don't clean the areas where the double sided tape makes contact, it will not hold...spending extra time in prepping the area will make it worth its weight in gold when it doesn't come flying off when your driving!

canrhea · 06-26-2009, 06:45 PM

where did you get it from? I have a good guess......

BLACK335iCOUPE · 06-26-2009, 07:25 PM

where did you get it and for how much? and where can you get double sided tape.. is it necessary?

335ifanatic · 06-26-2009, 08:40 PM

Not bad. I installed mine last week but I used tape, I would receommend you use tape as well for a more secure fit but make sure you buy the right 3M tape. Stay away from the clear tape.

iheartsole · 06-26-2009, 09:32 PM

looks good. if you want i to be perfect try doing it again. putting a lil more double-sided tape

darkphantom · 06-27-2009, 12:12 AM

which double sided tape from 3M? what is the thickness?

Hoothout · 06-27-2009, 12:13 AM
