you bought it new with no gasket? if so, return it. if you install it without the gasket you will scratch the hell out of your bumper!

well just talk to cheaphondaparts.com. according to them, rubber molding is not included in the package just because honda's instruction does not mention anything about it. however they ordered another one just to see whether or not it has it.

question for members!!!
is rubber molding/gasket... whatever you call it... attached to front lip spoiler right out the box? or is it buried somewhere in the box and needs to be attached? please reply!!! thanks!!!

I dunno dude. Is that company a honda dealership? Is the front lip really an oem honda part? It's been like a year since Installed mine, but the lip has a honda sticker to the inside doesn't it? If its not oem from honda, I would assume they just produce front lips without gasket.

Bought my lip about a month ago and it came ATTACHED to the spoiler. Like it already glued to the spoiler.

That's exactly the way it's supposed to be. The gasket is already attached. If you didn't get one like this, return it. The fact that the place you are ordering from doesn't even know that it's supposed to be on there suggests to me that you might want to think about ordering from another place as well.

Mine came attatched on as well. I'm thinking maybe it's not an oem front lip. Send it back and go with one of the guys listed above. I got mine from HandA, 408 bucks shipped. Great guys to do business with.

i would take a picture of mine, but it was removed and impossible to reinstall after i had it repainted. it comes already pre attached to the lip and once you remove it it can't be reattached. the color on my gpw was a greyish.

hope the helps.

Here you go:

Click on the image below for Super Duper Large Version of this picture. You can see the grey rubber gasket all along the top of the OEM Lip.

And yes, the gasket is already attached to the lip right out of the box.
