How did YOU mount your shine auto lips?

[Big Wang Bandit]

I jsut recived my Shine Type 1 lip and It looks awesommme.

I just picked up some semi gloss paint,im going to lay a coat down tomrrow morning. I also got a roll of 3M double sided tape as well.

But heres my question. It dosnt look as if I can use stock mounting holes, or any equipment(which I do not have). Whats my best bet for a safe mount?

Thanks, Kyle

Drill holes through the lip and your bumper and either use zip ties or bolts/nuts. I don't think double sided tape will look right or hold very well over time.

yeah, do satin

Ill have to clean some stuff up, It has a few imperfections. They may scrub off, not sure what they are.


I can get a piece of chalk and drill the lip with holes int he stock spots, bolt it up and use some double sided tape as reenforcement.

use nuts and bolts

that lip looks very similar to my wrx sti lip. It used 3m double stick for the top edges, and metal brackets for the bottom.

Thats what I ment to say, Well now I need to find a bolt and nut combo for the holes, Sweet. Probably isnt too big.

Matt just likes to show this pretty Son of a Bitch off! Nice beater you got there Matt.

Back on topic.......What does that lip cost us common folk?

check shineautos vendor section because he has a sale on couple lips right now. i just bought the bomex 3 hole style lip from him and from the pics it looks like its a direct bolt on but i guess ill find out on friday

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Do what he said. Im not sure.

Hee is how im gonna mount it

Ummm...I think you need two screws more towards the center. Otherwise it will sag after a while...I don't think double stick by itself is strong enough for the center part.

It accually overlaps on the top of the center grille John
