guys I'm trying to put stillen rear lip on my 2k2
it seems like the lip is about 1/2" too short
i just can't get it on
have any of you experienced this problem? how did you solve it?
thanks

 

which one Stillen rear Valence or Sarona rear?? cuz if it's Stillen I don't know if that's suppose to fit on 2k2

 

stillen rear valence

 

mine was like that too....my body guy had to bake it for a little while and stretch it out a little bit. My whole stillen kit didnt fit right outta the box and the whole thing needed to be baked and shaped a little bit....hope this helps

What do you mean by too short? Like you put on one side and when you go to put on the other side, you can't "wrap" it around the bumper? I haven't seen my car in weeks, so, if our bumpers get narrower at the bottom, try and put it on below where it's supposed to go and inch your way up.

Do you have a dig. cam.? Can you take pics?

 

ya that's the problem. If I get one side one, than on the other side I would have problem wrapping it around.

 

Damn, that's a tough one. How about putting on one side, then for the other side, try and put it on either higher or lower (which ever is narrower) and then "slide" it into position. It seems like the Stillen kit, is a "perfect" fit, so it looks like you have to be a little creative with the install. I'm lucky, the body shop is going to do the install so I don't have to worry about it.

Too bad no one with a kit is replying back.

 

ya we tried that too we've been trying different ways for the past 3 hours

 

3 HOURS??!!! Damn!! Well, sorry if I can't be of any more help. Let me know how it goes and good luck to ya!!!

 

you might have to heat it up a LITTLE and then "stretch" it to fit.
