Arkym Front Lip

335_MI6 · 11-15-2011, 07:30 PM

So i was driving down to miami on 95, and i start feeling this pull i first thought i cracked my wheels or something. So i pull over to the side of the highway walk around the car and looked around and it looked fine so i headed for the front of the car and i see that my arkym front lip is hanging, that is point im fliping two s**ts so thankfully i had painters tape in the trunk so i painters tapes my whole front end so i could make it to the next exit. After i make it to the next exit, i park my car in front of a shopping plaza and im trying to take off the lip with my bare hands. Finally I took it off, i will attach pictures.

Long story short, whats the best way of putting the Arkym Front Lip on? I tried 3m taping it to the addition of the 6 screws? Any ideas? Something that can hold atleast 100mph, i wasnt going that fast when my lip fell i was going around 75pmh when it fell

so u used 3m tape and screws and it still fell off?? i have 10 screws and tape holding mine up perfectly fine. did the screws u used even the right head size? from that one pic (the ginormous one) it looks like the hole is untouched. did the screw just fall off from the bumper?

I went over 100 on mine and it's holding up just fine (knock on wood, hehe) and I used 3m auto tape and the 10 screws also.

I'm surprise if it fell off that it didn't break in half or at least crack some portion of it.

U should zoom out and show us pix where u applied the tape bc that pix doesn't help.
