> That looks good but I’m not 100% sure a piece of ABS will soak up enough impact to not crack the lip, or at least unseat the lip from the bumper. It will def. transfer the impact to a larger area of the lip, hopefully it won’t crack. How is the lip fastened to the bumper?

the lip is held on the bumper with 10 bolts that go around the perimeter of the bumper. its on there pretty good. well the plastic bends a good amount fairly easily so it will give more than a cf lip will. thats all i was really going for

Newman, yeah i probably couldve used alot less. i can always take some out. i didnt wanna have it flap and catch a ton of air in between the lip and the bumper thats why i used so many. havent tested it out tho so ill see how it goes
