greddy front lip dilemma!

ive bought one a few weeks ago. and ive painted it last week, now ive decided to install but, i seem to have encountered a problem.

i dont know how the sides of the lip would fit on mhy front bumper, note: (the front mounting bolts are a perfect fit)

its just when i try to fit the two sides of the lip, it just doesnt look right. do i have to do some cutting on the lip or am i not trying hard enough.

please, does anyone here have put a greddy front lip on their ludes.

and can you suggest some side skirts and rear lip (im thinking a mugen lip woud be good) that would go nice with the greddy on the front.

thanks!

put it on the car and then take some pictures of it so it will be easier to see...

for side skirts and a rear lip, since the greddy front lip is pretty agressive, then i would go with the WWRS sides and rear since they still look stock but a little more of a agressive look.

I had my Greddy shaved and the lip shaved onto the bumper. Also if it's a true greddy it should fit fine. You just need to bolt the side down using one of oem holes in the wheel well.

Not a fan of the paint job either. But, to each his own. Not sure why your Greddy lip doesn't fit right I had no issues with mine when I first got it. Here's what the lip looked like before painting and shaving


The body shop used a malleable urethane filler to bond the pieces and shave it together.

ill be doing this sometime this summer. ive noticed you've cut the lip about 2 inches off from the top. how much did you pay them to do this?

OH AND THANKS FOR PUTTING IN YOUR COMMENTS GUYS!

why did yours crack?

it should be flexible enough to withstand minor road impacts.
