you gotta be kidding me. Anyways i went to home depot and the only kind they have is the kind you hang things on the wall with. I dunno how thats going to like the rain. Other than 4 screws on the fender, what did you guys hold the lip up with; and if you had double sided tape....what kind
thanks

I've got one bolt on either fender holding the edges. I've got double sided tape all around. I then took four screws and drilled thru the lip and into the nose. I also took two small plates of scrap metal and bolted them to the nose and up under where the lip meets the nose. I did this to possibly reduce pull on the lip if I hit anything. The tape is 1/2" wide white 3M stuff. There's NO WAY that stuff will hold the lip by itself.

I've got a black car and my lip is unpainted and has been like that since March. I looks brand new and matches the car. Plus I have no paint worries.

Ryan, I recommend you do what Dave B suggested. The double sided tape itself will not hold the lip in the long run as I found that.

Bodyshops use a higher quality 3M double sided tape in conjunction with the rivets and bolts.
