I bought an ING's front Lip from my local auto shop, NOT replica, the lip is 1-1.5 inch short......


I bought the Hydbrid Verson (Not FiberGlass)


Can this happen?

Are you trying to install the lip starting on one side and working to the other or are you starting in the middle and working your way our.

I read a thread here a while back that it makes a difference, I think you have to start in the middle and work your way out.

1.5in is a alot to make up for. it should only be short maybe half an inch on both ends and you basically just snap it on with a little bit of force.

5" does seem like way too much to make up for by just re-installing from the middle first! Keep us posted as to how it works out.

I don't have a pic with door open, but I know what you mean about the gap on the side skirt, I find it pretty far apart myself too.
