DIY: How To Tuesday: add STI lip in your car!
Things you need
- STI LIP
- heat gun
- screws
- screwdriver
- measuring tape
Step one
Clamp the sti lip to the lip (in my case its vertex)
Step two
Cut V shapes to the curve of the lip so you can stretch it. Our lips (and bumper) are wider than the sti lip so you need to stretch it wider. Heating it with the heat gun helps
Step three
Make sure its even and start screwing them! I used self tapping screws
Step four
Install lip / test fit
My vertex lip is in the bodyshop getting painted. To be continued..

Would def. work! It may be harder though. Either you take the bumper off or install it with a lift.

The front. Thats about it. However, you can stretch the sides more so itll stick out more
