Lip Fitting ... Do not want to use 3m

Josh1a1h · 11-24-2013, 12:28 PM

I have a lip coming soon.

I am a little worried as i DO NOT want to use 3m Tape as it will probably too low for daily driving... so i would just fit it during shows...

Can i just attach with lots of bolts during these times so it is easily removable?

Josh do you not have pre-drilled holes in your existing bumper that you can put the splitter through?

Better question would be why wouldn't be able to take it off.

My idea was just to use extended bolts and use the existing bumper mounting holes to attach the splitter, but I am unsure if this is enough...?

You'll be fine just using bolts. Some people use tape for extra security including myself but eventually if you scrape the lip enough times, it'll tear the tape off anyways. But getting extended screws using the existing bumper mounts won't hold the lip. Make sure to use bigger bolts as well.
