grrr..so my mom and i were installing the front lip to my 250awd..we cut the holes and did everything correctly but for some reason we cannot get the clips to lock in therefore creating a gap on the bend where the adhesive is on both sides..did anyone else have a problem like this when installing the front lip? or am i just "special"?
here are a couple pics

 

Nice of your mom to get down and dirty with you installing after market kits

As for any help? uhh I guess I cant help, because Im still trying to make a choice on which rims to buy :*( . Dont even want to bother think about anything else till i get the rims and springs/coils.

 

haha..yea my mom is very handy..i just wish it had gone on all the way..i think this weekend im gonna have my shop put it up on a lift and then i think we'll be able to get it on right..its hard trying to maneuver under the car when its down on the ground cause there is not a lot of clearance

 

Very lucky you have a cool mum, if she knows I modding? I'll be gone!!!

Hey Cat, long time no see.
I got that problem too on my front lip. What I did was using a heat gun and heat it up a lil bit ( becareful you could damage the paint if it's too hot) , Then use a strong force to push it in. Remember to remove the double side tape before you push the front lip in place. You will need a thick glove to avoid burn.
Good luck, Tim

 

i know tim where have you been?? i'm glad im not the only one that had this problem..which part of the lip did you heat exactly??

 

is this the GFX front lip? or whose?

 

its the front lip of the lexus gfx body kit

 

it looks a lot better on your car then it does in the pics provided by lexus

but i can' help you with your problem, im not technical, sorry

 

Hey Cathafer I am not sure why you are having that problem or a fix to it -- because I dont have the lip, but if you can't find a solution you can try buying one of those double-sided tapes (3M) and make the part stick. If you get the right tape it's really strong and it will hold it for good. Good luck.

 

yea tim817 said he had the same problem....there is actually already double stick there but theres so much of a gap it doesnt meet the car..i think im gonna have to do what tim did and heat it up to make it work...thanks
