    lip mounting question??

    I have acquired the lip below but the end mounting points are different than the stock lip I took off. Do these mount differently than the stock lip? Or have the end mounting tabs on mine been altered? I can't tell from realoem.

      Could it be a difference in the Euro/US Valences?

        do you have any pictures?
        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              ^^lol

              that way when it rips off it'll rip your whole valence off?

              Zip ties are the best way to go, for sure.

                The only way he will put zip ties on is if they had Alpina written on them. :)

                Does it mount up correctly with the US valence?

                  I believe that lip is the for 84-85 valence so if you have a 86-87 you'll need to swap.

                    N2MYE30 came over yesterday and we deemed that the tabs were in fact broken. So the tricky part will be getting them off another spoiler and bonding them to this one. Suggestions on removing tabs and bonding?

                    no zip ties!!

                    this what it should look like, from Kronus' for sale ad...
