spartan Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yes the gap is the same on both sides, I eliminated both of them, but I don't think it is necessary. I cut the ends with a dremel and used "plastic welder" epoxy to put them back together. It is kind of a hack job until it gets a little warmer outside, but I will put up completed pictures tonight.

theGeneral Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This should be made a Sticky in the area where vendors are charging two hundred and fifty dollars for basically the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 .....I almost paid 250 for one of the vendor lips too but the man upstairs told me if you wait it will come... "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2oo5Gt Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I paid $200 for a lip and still waiting on it 9 months later! I have to go this route! Looks job on the lip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin1657615274 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I personally dont regret getting my Ravspec lip. Great quality and fitment, and I am a perfectionist. For a third the price, I may have been willing to sacrifice perfection though. Good work. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 It actually looks pretty good in person. It is definitely possible to get it perfect if you don't mind a little work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vbelisle Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 What are the chances this will work on an 08? I really want to try this but, arent the bumpers different 05-07 vs 08-09? I know the lip is cheap but I still dont want to buy it and have it not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcTec34 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ordered. woot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 You may be able to get it to work on an 08-09, but my guess would be that it would involve more work. The center portion of the lip might be too tall for your bumper, but you never know till you try, look at our situation, the lip is at least 4 years old and no one had tried it...

Would there be room to trim away some from the center portion? From the pics it looks like the mounting locations will be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacychick Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'm going to try this on my 09. If it doesn't work, hopefully I can sell it locally to recoup some of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
