That AP1 lip seems like a good deal! For a little over $100 you can have that lip, and have it painted with the link I posted. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone who gets the AP1 replica lip, go to autozone and get some 3M double sided adhesive tape. Over the past year my lip started to slightly sag in the middle so I just put some of that tape on the inside of the lip in the middle and its been like that for a while, and its very sturdy! Plus it helps everything line up better. Here is a link of the exact stuff I got. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Molding-Tape-15-F..._sim_dbs_auto_1

Lip: $53 Shipped (ebay)
Primer, Base, and Clear (from where I got it): $47 Shipped
3M Double Sided Adhesive Tape: $8 (autozone)

So a total of: $108 installed and painted good as long as you take your time doing it right! Not that bad for a painted lip.


the 3M tape is a must tho if you put alot on the lip will never move.

Oh and the weather stripping there a guy on Ebay that sells this by the feet in white and black. A friend of mine order it and say it was good

what's the purpose of weatherstripping? to keep moisture from getting in between the lip and bumper?

^Nah I think its used so if the lip moves any over time it will leave marks on your bumper if you take it off. So people put weather stripping to prevent that.

yup if you dont have it and put the lip on it about a few months when you remove the lip your gonna have a nice line across the bumper where the lip was.

Weatherstripping....What I did was go to Home Depot and get black Irriagation hose. it was like 5$ for 50ft. I split it down the middle and slap it on with no glue...Heres a picture of it around the EK fogs and frontlip...I think for 5 bucks...its worth it! No glue needed...lol


Let me know of you guys have any questions....Shoot me a PM. Alowhas...
