So we will see how it holds up on my trip tomorrow.Move over, duct tape, there’s another tape that has nearly as many uses. I managed to get up to about 60 in a wet, semi drizzling rain, and it stayed on fine. My main concern was when I head down to Houston this weekend I didnt want this thing coming off and me having to either screw it back on and stuff. So I took it for a drive around some roads. After letting it sit and letting the rain fall for about 5 hours I decided to go ahead and drive around to make sure it wouldnt come lose or anything. The only part I am disappointed about (which is my own fault) is that when looking down one side (on the curve) it sticks out a little bit more than the other side. Using wider double sided tape may cover more space (which helps hold better), but makes it harder to get a screw through rubber, adhesive, and the bumper. Patience is a virtue, aka take your timeĥ. Isopropyl alcohol will help the adhesives stick better to the bumper.Ĥ. It is a bitch to get those screws in there because it does twist the rubber, but if you apply enough force it will just push through and screw into the bumper fine.ģ. It is best to apply the double sided tape in sections so that you can "bend and shape" the rubber along the curves of the bumper.Ģ. After it was all said and done I for sure learned some things.ġ. I didn't have a jack handy since I was at school but I thought what the hell it only costs $25 for everything, if i screw up I will just go get more stuff.

Well since the rain let up yesterday I decided to go ahead and attempt this DIY front lip. I'm going on a big cruise tomorrow with some peeps, i'll post some better pics when the car is actually clean.

it brings the car that much lower in the front, and with the not so much available for the GE out there, this just suited. if it looks like its saging, or not holding, use another screw. I spaced the screws every few inchs, and in some spots closer together. so make sure you push the screw through the seal, then start turning otherwise the seal will come off the bumper.(all trial and error. i was gonna use my drill, but i found out by just using a screw driver, it turns the seal a bit when putting them in. i found using a regular phillips screw driver worked the best. Next, jack the car up(or do all this with the car jacked up) and put the screws in through the seal, the tape, and into the bumper. i put it almost on the very outside edge of the bumper. i like the look of the stuff, reminds me of the SI lip i had on my civic, so i wanted that look. Next, tape it to the bottom of the bumper at desired depth. i looked at it, sighed at what way to put it on for over a week. i can take more pics if this part is confusing. i put the tape on the longer side, so the lip would angle under the car.

if you notice in the pic, there is almost 3 sides to the door seal. Next, put the 2 sided 3M tape on the door seal. the packaging here in canada is different than than whats pictured. i searched, and couldn't find any DIY's on it, so heres mine. i asked some questions, and got some replys, and well, i had to try it, and see how it works. So i seen in the "lowered ge8" thread 2 GE's with home made lips.
