Hey guys, my rep vertex front lip came today and was wondering how to install this thing. I know u guys don't agree with reps but the only reason I got it was cuz I can't afford to have it damaged. I will be completing the look with authentic sides and rear. I hope u guys understand and don't bash me for this.

I need to know what you guys did to install it. I'm going to test fit it tomorrow and go from there.

 

install from under the car.. if your car is lowered, you WILL need to raise it. wrap it around the driverside first.. slide onto the front.. and you will feel some resistance as you try to get it around the passengerside.. this is where it gets a little iffy: you're gonna have to kind of tap it for it to slip onto the passengerside.. careful not to scratch your bumper in the process.. ooh, and you're probably gonna have to use adhesion promoter if your lip is a rep

 

Sorry I'm new but what is a "rep"?

 

Rep = replica


I see, so do I need to take off the little piece(lip) that's already on the car? Will the vertex clip from the bottom also like the gfx does?

 

Take off the oem lip and no there no clip on the rep. Just put screw on each side of the inner fender.

 

Ok, what's the adhesion promotors for?? To hold the lip to the bumper?

 

Adhesion promoter is what helps paint to stick to a surface like plastic and fiberglass.

 

The Vertex rep doesn't have the area under to bolt it to the car. This is how you can tell it's a rep I hear. Is it painted already? Test fit it before paint in case you need some trimming.

 

^^^ so I will have to drill holes correct? No I haven't painted it yet, I will be test fitting tomorrow with a friend

 

Yeah drill where it meets on the end where the inner fender is.

 

^^^ what about underneath??

 

Like i stated earlier there no clips on the rep. As you can see by looking at it. No clips mean nowhere to put the bolt.

 

I see, that wouldn't affect anything will it?

 

No it wont

 

Cool thanks man
