Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I got this universal lip with instructions to install: On Ebay.
These were the instructions:
1. Clean the area thoroughly with alcohol or brake cleaner.
2. Use adhesive promoter on the rubber lip and let dry for a few minutes.
3. Use 3M Adhesive Outdoor High Strength Red Tape and stick it on the front lip.
4. Stick the lip to the front bumper.
5. It recommended to use screws as additional support.
Well, I did all that and it did not work. The adhesive promoter did not work like it was supposed to and the Red Tape did not stick to the rubber lip. It started to fall off minutes later.
Drilling holes in the bumper and lip are the only way to go with this.
Cost Spent for materials:
$35 for Lip
$6 for Adhesive Promoter
$4 for 3M Red Tape
$5 for screws and bolts.
Here is how it looks:
At the risk of insulting you, why did you feel need to break up the nice clean lines of your front bumper with a rubber strip ? Your vehicle looks better without it .
No offense but you overpaid. What you just used was a rubber garage door sealer/liner. Google DIY home depot lip. I've done this to my WRX for $11 bucks.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I was wondering what you did on the side of the bumper where the little black trim piece is. I purchased a lip kit too for mine because I installed a skid plate in front.
This front lip is rubber. I just cut the ends and tried to make it line up with the existing mini plastic lips in front of the front wheels. It does not look great in the corners, but still better than having no lip at all.
Oh ok. I purchased the same lip and I was just wondering how others had the ends finished. Right now I have it dead-ending just in front of that black trim piece in from of that mud flap.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
