Problem with ABS Dynamics rear valance.

Ok, talking to the paint and body shop it appears that there is no way for my rear lip to fit. It's almost as if the piece isn't wide or long enough.

Has anyone else had a problem fitting the rear piece on???

Rob.

i thought everything fit fine. I guess the stillen lip is worth the extra money.

don't know about the abs rear, but the stillen rear was a tight fit on my max. it seemed to short on one side, but i attached the sides by the rear wheel wells first and then pulled the back up over the bumper for it to fit.

during shipment.. and especially now during cold weather. it might loose its shape a bit..
put it somewhere warm over night or something and it will regain its shape.

It's been sitting at the paint shop, inside their building this entire time. I'll ask the body shop tomorrow what kinds of suggestions they have for this.

Thanks guys.

Yeah both my stillen front and rear didn't fit right. My body guy baked them and had to stretch them a little. From what I understand this is normal with urethane parts.
