I had a lexus dealership installed the rear lip for me a while back, now I am putting the car back to stock and I noticed the two corners of my rear bumper are cut. I am not sure if they would need to cut the bumper to fit this lip kit..

can you guys provide any inputs?

Here are some pictures.

The first picture is what my bumper looks like now.. as you can see it is missing two corners.



The second picture is what the lip looks like




The third picture is what the front of the bumper and lip looks like when they are put together..

I don't have the Nextmod INGs+1 kit, but I'm pretty sure that isn't necessary...:3

they had to cut the bumper because that rear lip was bad fitment, but cutting the bumper was a horrible idea.

well.. i went there because my car was in a wreck.. so i went to the Lexus collusion center, and put it on while I was there..

so should I even try to go to the dealership and reason with them?

also.. when you guys install the lips, how do you guys hold it onto the bumper? this guy keeps telling me he needs to drill holes and put screws. Can't he just use double sided tape?

they are going to tell you that since it was an aftermarket part, they had to custom fit it, and will take no liability for non oem parts. tell them that they're idiots and should have modified the rear lip. ask whoever the district/regional manager is for the dealership and tell them they did a hack job on your rear bumper when the job was suppose to modify the rear lip to fit the bumper.

all i used is 3m tape. holds fine. Mine is authentic, so there is no fitment issue

My NextMod Vertex Rep was a little off in fitment. So I took it to a body shop and had it done right. No screws, no double sided tape, looks awesome. Authentic Vertex/kits have pre-drilled holes. I learned the hard way on that one.

Proper fitment during installation sometimes requires cutting. If you follow the instructions Lexus provides for the GFX rear lip, it also states that you have to cut the rear bumper. to fit the wider openings on the lips. A lot of people (myself included) just installed it anyways, but many people have cut it.
