Everything looked nice so we started to 3M Tape up the inner lips





Definitely lots of people at the shop today



Let the tape do its work for a while as we waited for the Integra to finish up on the lift.





Drilled and screwed on the lip from the predrilled points and then taped up the lip to make sure that it held up the weight while the tape and caulking glue dries. I contemplated eating the glue at one point! So hungry!



Officer Jermaine, a good friend of ours, didn't understand what the tape was for lol



Glued, taped, and caulked up!

All buttoned up and finishing off the glue.



I hope everything is nice and settled when he takes off that tape in a few days.

Wow gave that sucker a really clean look. I always wondering about debadging and how it would look, and now I like it.
