Type-V PU Front Lip 16-18 Civic

[JJ707]

I got a nice inexpensive front lip from ebay and thought I should share. It gives a nice and clean look. I must warn you all, great price under $100.00, but the fit and finish needed some love. Overall the construction of the lip was great, but the black paint on it was not good. Here is the work I had to do to get it to look great and fit good:

-Sand it down and finish sanding with 400 grit to get a smooth surface.
-Spray painted it with Rust-Oleum bumper trim paint (6 coats).
-Spray painted it with Rust-Oleum enamel finish (4 coats).
-Let it cure overnight.
-Removed front bumper and use 3M vinyl tape (Red) to mock up bumper.
*This tape was crucial because it was stretchy and helped keep the lip snug to the bumper.*
-Used a heat gun to soften the lip to have it contour better to the bumper.
-Drilled 12 holes. 4 on the left side, 4 on the right side, and 4 at the front.
-Used bolts washers and nuts to secure lip.
-Put bumper back on. Took a few hours, but turned out great.
