ABS Dynamics plastic rear lip fitment.
ABS Dynamics plastic rear lip fitment.
So how the hell did you guys fit this on your cars? Fitment is terrible. You can't just "slide" it on.
You try to put one side on and "pull" the whole thing so the other side goes in but then the first side falls off.
In other words, fitment is WAAAY too tight, even the body shop said they cannot fit it without modifications.
Any advice?

ok im kinda skeptical now. what color was your ABS Dynamics rear lip? Mine was black and came in a BIG BOX that said ABS Dynamics on it and it was wrapped in a plastic bag that didn't say ABS Dynamics on it.
on www.absdynamics.com it shows the lip in white. mine was black. WTF.

Dry fit wasn't that great, like others said I had to have another person hold the other side of it. Once installed though the filiment looked better than my Maxx Tuning front lip.
MAXRB8, IMO you have one of the cleanest looking 5th gens on here. you came up pretty fast too! i remember when you started the thread on JUST getting it. lol.
anyways. what did you have to modify to get it to fit.
my jdubs sideskirts dont fit THAT great either, how did you modify yours?

MAXRB8, your rides looks super clean. I need my kit, so I can look like you.

good luck
