Reiger lip replica = garbage

[jajou318]

This was the GB for like $140 each right? I am still looking for one...

JasonH -- I would suggest you do this if it is really that thin.

I did that last night with a small test strip. I'll check it when I get home from work today and see how well it adhered.

What glue did you use? For my Rieger i bought this insane commercial grade use only ABS bond shit. It worked fanfuckintastic

What's the name of the stuff and where can I get it?

the stuff is made by IPS Corporation

I think it is called "WELD ON" the Part # is 4707

I don't know where you can get it

I'd hate to jump on a bandwagon here, but Jordan is right on, unfortunately. the filler I used is flexible enough that I can bend the lip and it won't crack, but the mounting area is tiny and it being 1/4" too short on one side is a pretty big letdown. sanding and filling the imperfections wasn't a big deal though.

I'm going to paint it and rock it for a while, then I'll probably go back to an is lip (or maybe a real Rieger lip). I always wanted a Rieger lip though so hopefully it won't look too bad..

i think i figured out what im going to do. im going to mount with about 20 zip ties across the whole edge, then im gonna use what i think are called
"flippers" or whatever.... like these



and bolt one end through the lip obviously and the other through the valance. maybe that would hold it on good enough. i need a place to buy those flippers though. dont everyone go copying me now....

Dan, they are called turnbuckles.

Authentic lips are $260 now? I paid $180 for mine back in the day from Mike.

the exchange rate has skyrocketed since we OG rieger-ers got ours, TJ

TJ's is now on my car, or at least was up till a month or two ago. Hard packed snow in the middle of the road around a turn (from stupid farmers thinking they can push snow onto a county road) ripped the poor thing in half.

Its back together and it will be back with a vengence, better, stronger, blacker, cooler, splittier, etc.

Thats screwy those lips weren't up to par. I was considering one myself after I had problems, but wow.

[Jordan]

Does anyone know what material these replica lips are made from?

[robert325is]

Does anyone know what material these replica lips are made from?

Crap/plastic molded together.

Oh yes thanks why didn't I think of that.

No I mean what EXACT material is the plastic used. It matters for chemical bonding...

[Bavarian3]

In regards to Tj's post. I can get the real ones for $189 plus shipping...

[Jordan]

WHERE THE FUCK IS GREG.

I do not want to extend the mounting lip (not that it would help)
I do not want to otherwise modify the lips dimentions to make it fit (the dimentions are off, the mold sucked, and the thing fits like shit)

I want my money back, I did not get what I paid for. Who else is grossly disatisfied with this shit product?

[m42technic]

WHERE THE FUCK IS GREG?

Doing his job?

[Jordan]

Be that as it may, I want this company's contact info.

[SykoBMW]

Did this thing even turn out anywhere near what the picture used to sell it was?

[Jordan]

No.

No where near as flexible

Not even the right shape (doesnt contour to the bottom of the valance)

and one side of it is 1/4in too fucking short to mate up to the valance.

This thing is completely useless to me. I spent alot of time fucking with it trying to make it work... but it isnt going to. End of story.
