The dealer installed the AP2 OEM front lip for me. JUst came home and noticed, there is this LOOONG black rubber part IN BETWEEN the top of the lip and the bumper. It goes all the way around.
Looks pretty ugly
Is that normal?

 

yea i have that on my ap1 factory lip

 

It's Normal.

 

thats the adhesive they use

 

it's not adhesive it's rubber that goes around it... it's normal

 

it wouldnt look right without it

 

its so it will fit nice and snug!

 

Weird my lip didn't come with it, should i not install it without the rubber piece or is it integral?

 

i removed it, and installed it again myself without the rubber... screws right on... NOT as easy as i'd hoped.. takes some time, but can be done without it.

i like it much better now.

 

It's just a gasket. If you live in cold climes it could keep water from coming between the lip and bumper and then freezing which would now allow dirt and grime to start etching away at your bumper.
Personally I think it looks fine.
