help: Greddy front lip test fit

Hey guys im having trouble test fitting my Greddy lip. Has anyone had any experience putting this on? I know its urethane and its flexible, but i can't seem to figure a way to wrap it around my front bumper...it always end up short on one side and i don't wanna break something by forcing it.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

hehehe i went through the same issue... the first time i bought it from another member it fit like a glove. then i took it off for a couple on months... but when i tried to put it on again, it seemed like it shrunk an inch. Just let it sit out in the sun standing upwards. dont really know how to describe it.... uh... have the lip facing to the sky with both corners on the ground. it worked for me... the poly softens up enough to fit on the bumper again.

It stretches ... Just don't be too forceful ...

make sure to secure one side and then slightly pull until its almost there and wiggle it bottom , top until on .. then screw down

Thanks for the input guys! Another CL member told me that the Greddy lip was made for the JDM Aristo's which apparently have a shorter front bumper compared to USDM...fact or fiction? I guess i'll try again tomorrow when i get home from the office and leave it out in the sun for a bit.

i'll post pics of the lip with my newly acquired Zauber Gettins on once i get this damn lip on. =)

Thanks guys...i hope to get this on tonight when i get home from the office. =)

This is what another CL member said about the USDM vs. JDM bumpers

"The USDM bumpers stick out a bit more forward because it needs to accomodate the 5-mph bumper (the styrofoam piece), which is not required in Japan. So the whole bumper sticks out maybe like 1/2 inch or so. It's not really visible to the eyes."
