WALD Rep Front Lip Installation Help
Hi guys I bought a replica wald front lip a couple months ago but didn't get around to installing until now. The problem is that I took it into 2 shops already and they said the fitment was bad. The first one agreed to install but said there's a chance that it might crack or something. The second was owned by a friend of mine and he thought that even 3m tape wouldn't even hold the lip on. When you put the lip on it actually holds and stays there but there are some gaps around. What are your guy's opinion on this? Should I even install it? Thanks

Most replica lips are not far off from the real deal, despite what most people tell you. So, something is definitely off in your case. And we definitely need more info... "a chance it might crack or something". Where? Why? How? Those are the questions you should be asking. People need to be a little more proactive with their cars and not just take it to shops to get everything done.

btw its unpainted poly urethane
If I did would it be permanent? I thought about this but how exactly do they mold it? heat it and just form it to the bumper?

yes, it's permanent. They use body filler to fill up the gap and paint it, Of course something strong to keep it in place at well. It's a lot of work
