ok well i recently purchased a stillen lip from stillen brand new in the box. The fitment seems to be off, it does not hug the bumper tightly theres gaps in a few places. Im test fitting the lip before i paint it so its right out of the box from stillen.

 

Looks fine to me...don't think the area next to the fog light is exactly on point with the fitment on any 5.5. and holy **** thats a big *** bend on that wheel

 

bro thats kinda how they all look lol...

 

the wheels not bent its the way i took the picture that makes it look bent

 

 

hey how does that thing mount up i just ordered one of them! and whats it feel like is it flexable enuff to heat with a heat gun and form it to shape?

 

i guess thats the way they are thanks for the help tho

 

keep in mind that before the lip was mas produced there were a lot of measuring that took place so 2mm here and ther is as close as you will get without fitment being shytti..... no need to nit pick... looks fine by the pics i see

 

it pretty straight forward it come with the hardware just fit it then attach with the supplied hardware

 

no need too... after a couple days 1 or 2mm wont bother you n god forbid you have to take it off after making it smaller, you would have hell re installing lol

 

CJ I just used some SS#10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screws 2 on ea wheel well & 2 at the back corners of the lip where it sits on top of the lower grill opening. A piece of cake to remove for servicing i.e. fog replacement. I've plowed through deep snow, hit parking lot barriers & bottomed it out w/ no problem. It'll take a beating & not fall off. Fawck the 3M tape it's a beatch to get off once it's set.

 

+1 ^^except the screws in the grille area, i recommend double sided tape in that area at the flat parts in between the fog lights, in other words the part the lays flat over the lower grille sections

 

i used 2 drywall screws by each wheel wells and 3M tape elsewhere

 

Use 3M tape to mount the middle and side parts and push it snug. Then screws on the side near the wheels.

 

Very flexible. Should form right to the body with no problesms. Mine came out fine.

If you know what you're doing. With parts like this, I always recommend installing them in hot weather. I've always found it to ensure the poly is softer for a more snug and fitted look. So, a bit of strategic extra heat just might clean up a few lines, but don't expect much, no miricle is going to happen.

And yes, double sided tape and a couple screws/rivets at the wheel well will hold it perfectly.

 

Your fitment looks about normal to me, even mine has a couple of slight gaps.

 

It would be perfect if you molded the seams, that would be especially clean.

 

That sucks, cuz I've noticed the 5.5 is very different than the 5 gen cuz mine is 5 gen and it fit perfectly however there were some gap cuz it's urtherane bumper that you use 3m tape to really close the gap flushed to the bumper.

 

Mines the same, and nobody isnt going to bust out a magnifying glass and say a you got a Gap there, just paint it and install it and roll on.....

 

a member spencediggy did it a few years back with a different front lip it look amazing, totally changed the look of a lip into a whole bumper look.

time flies !

 

aside from the grill aspect and dated wheels (not just because it's chrome, but the style) that's a classic look on that 5.5

 

he ended up changing it a lot down the road over time, he went for a tuner look.

 

guess he ditched the wheels, grill and side mirrror turn signals w/ that process
