Default j's racing front half lip install on my ap1





hi, guys

my car is currently in a shop to put j's racing front lip on it.

I need your opinions on how to mount the lip onto the stock bumper


option1:

mold the j's lip to the stock bumper and make it a complete one piece

option2:

use heavy duty epoxy with some screws



which way should I go with? which option do you guys think it would look better??



help me out

thanks

Of the two options you listed, one requires a lot more work, and is generally accepted as looking better - hence why people are more open to paying more for it

I'd say the first option, mold it on!

^ I agree. I love that lip but hate how you can see those huge lines across the front bumper. Mold it!

i personally have it. mold it but don't mold it to make the line NOT visible. otherwise it will look like the replica one piece bumper

i think it looks good both ways, but if you choose to mold it, make sure its done right, otherwise once it starts cracking its going to be killer.
