Front lip help.

hey,

I sourced a front lip out of Yahoo Japan auctions. I really like the lip, but much to my disappointment when I fitted it today, there are 2 pieces missing.
Like the OEM lip where we have a tow hook cover, this lip is missing 2 covers. Unfortunately I don't recognise the type of lip it is, so I can't search for a brand to get replacements.

Does anyone recognise what kind of lip it is?

MANY thanks in advance.

I think that piece (front lip) goes over the factory front lower valence.That's what it looks like to me.I don't know what lip is that but it looks kinda clean.
 
No, unlike the WW lip, that lip replaces the factory lower bumper. Unfortunately, it looks like that's just the way the made it with an open area and there are no covers. You might be able to have someone fiberglass a vertical piece that goes between this lip and the upper bumper to fill in that open area.

You can't put the OEM tow hook cover on the right side as per normal and then another one upside down on your drivers side?

Looks like the gap might be too big but just a thought?

Wouldn't it be weird how they would make a front lip and just left two open spot in the middle?

I think from they way it look it goes over the factory lower bumper just like a wings west lip do.Doesn't hurt to try :smile:
 
I think Caroline might be right.
Nice to know I scratched my drivers fender & wasted an hour or 2 removing / installing my front bumper for no reason..

Will do it all again, this time with the OEM bottom half reinstalled and the lip placed over the top. Can't believe I didn't think to try this first. haha.

Will update with pics next weekend.
 
Caroline was right. It simplt snaps snug and tight over the OEM lower bumper half, secured by the foglight bolts and at the side.

This is the only picture I currently have.

That actually looks very clean. I like it. Its kind of a more rounded version of the Kei Office front lower valence.
 
I actually like it
