Default How to install ebay "OEM" AP1 front lip?

First of all, yes I know its a cheap replica and its not OEM fitment.

Got a replica of a stock AP1 front lip, recieved hardware but: First of all it seems to be a little to narrow/short, but my guess is thats because it should fit tight. Is there a smart way to put it on and make it fit? Maybe you should heat it a little first?

When I got it, it was bent into a little box, but when you left it in the open it took its original shape again.

Must be alot of you that have mounted this, any help is appreciated! Especially with pics. I tried search but no go!

Oh and another thing, on the bottom there are holes and then a bracket for each, but looks like you have to make the bracket fit the holes by trimming a little of the underside yourself, anyone else had this?

Thanks!

the oem lips are a bit tight for fitment but it should fit in there if the replica is made properly. some people have actually taken off the front bumper so it has more flex in order for the lip to go on easier. good luck

Hi cousin from Northern europe

I had the same issue with an amuse replica. and after several heat/expand attempt, this shit didn't properly fit to the bumper.

I was almost threwing that to the garbage when I decided to split it in two halves and relocate by registration plate down under the scoop, in order to hide the lip split.

Just a tip...You may find suitable.
