Horrible Fitment on this SUVNEER brand Front lip, very very bad.

I took it to a professional body shop for a quick install with my car on their lift...

They had 3 guys all pressing it in place and stretching/bending/pressing as hard as they could to make it conform as close as possible to the OEM bumper before having a fourth guy drill in the screws underneath... Even with all this, it still has a huge Gap and looks sloppy when up close.

It was such bad fitment, that the body shop advised me to not even put it on and return it instead (after they evaluated it with a test fit)!

Me being stubborn and already there, said F it, lets just get it as good as we can...

It was like the lip was a reject and should have been scrapped because the molding was so off... No wonder why I was so discouraged when trying to install myself originally... Not even pros can make this POS flush...

Will probably just keep it on until it gets ripped off by a parking block, then I'll actually buy something of quality for the next go around... Lesson Learned

End Rant-(see crappy install pics below)

You didn't center the lip...once centered it sits flush on the front but leaves about 1/8 in. of bumper uncovered on both sides(not as noticeable on a black car). Did you have a second pair of hands?

I wouldnt say bad fitment...

He said he want a pro shop that had 4 guys working on it.

Was it made in china?

Sorry to hear about the fitment issues

all front lips are not made equal.. there are some shady sellers on ebay that i frown upon on.....
send them an email telling them you are unhappy.. sometimes they do a partial refund..

aprince2die4

Oh I see now...didn't read the rant.

I would take it back off and try it again. This time centered leaving equal gap on both sides of the bumper.

thanks for the comments... ya, that is what I made sure of first and foremost... that the pinnacle/point of the bumper is exactly centered with the pinnacle/point of the lip...

I'll take a picture of the point of the lip and show you how it matches up to the bumper when I get home later... that is really the only point that doesn't look too bad...

the only logical conclusion if its centered at the point but off by different amounts on each side is that the casting/molding must be badly off

I believe there made in Thailand.


and OP definitely talk to suvneer, there good with there customer service send them the pics and they should sent you a new one (I had issues with my cf lip and they sent me a new one asap), because that one is definitely defected.

rb23lb

thanks... if they make a better lip and they arent supposed to all be like this, then maybe I will pursue getting an exchange

You sure it's not Taiwan? From what I've gathered, most eBay vendors, aftermarket CF vendors, etc. are all from China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. Not a stereotype really, just an observation.

Anyways I'd definitely talk to Gary about this. $260 isn't considered chump change in any book (unless you're the 1% :P) so I'd suggest seeing it through to the point where at least you're happy about it.

It looks like your local body shop did their best to line up the spoiler but to no avail.

There is a significant gap all throughout the spoiler that not even 3M's acrylic plus double sided tape will hold it in place.

I have DCT CF front lip and it took a little bit of effort to sit it flush against the bumper since the material itself is not flexible to begin with but it lined up evenly with only less than a quarter of an inch shorter on one side.

Resolve this issue with the vendor and maybe you guys can sort this thing out

Hit up Gary. Seems like a chill dude.

I tried a couple of lips and the Euroteck lip has the best fitment.

geez-US!!!
why can't these vendors here get with the program!!!!???????
I have only read and heard about negative things when dealing with a vendor here!!!
There are too many variables in the products they're selling.........
they always say the fitament is perfect, and that they always slap right on....
but from what I have seen and read they're all full of SHIZER!!

it's like when I got a rear diffuser from ACG. They swore it just goes right on, with not a lot of extra work, three shops later, and after the rear bumper CAME OFF, it was on!!!
and then, when you try to get the company to reckognize, they just ignore you or give you pre arranged, BS replies..........
well I can say with certainty: I will not go to any of these vendors here: they are ALL waiting to take advantage of the fact that we love our cars

Let me know how this works out for you. I had the exact same prob with my lip. The right side of the car lined up perfectly, but the other side is kind of suspect.

BauerR

Great(rolleyes), glad I didn't order one! I was THIS close to pulling the trigger.

Invain15

Bauer,

When we linkup, I'll show you in person

Gary is a good guy, he took care of me with my CF lip issues he should with yours as well, he sells two styles of lips, the one you have and another one (which I have but have forgotten the name) lol, let us know how it turns out.

danlnyc

WOW! LOL. That first picture is TERRIBLE LOL. That's like a 1in space where the lip is supposed to curve around....

Funny thing is, SUVNEER is a forum sponsor and I would suppose any legitimate sponsor/vendor that stands behind their product would chime in and try to show a little bit of customer service since they respond to all the other SUVNEER threads INSTANTLY when it involves them making a sale....

I know they are seeing this complaint thread here too...

So SUVNEER, where are you now? Do you consider this 50% quality fitment acceptable? Very interested in your response....

bigigg

Hey i dont want to be nosy, but did you try and contact them? I dont think its a good idea to get angry and call them out on a thread.. its obv that the lip fitment is terrible mayb it was just a screwed up lip that should of never been sold.

I emailed them originally a few times when I was having trouble getting it to fit properly and all they assured me I needed was "extra 3M tape" and use "more screws" than the 6 provided if I wanted the best fit...

the responses were always very short and I was under the impression that this was just the nature of these "replica" lips (poor fitment)

I posted this thread because I wanted to see other buyers experiences and hope that maybe SUVNEER would finally understand what I was talking about rather than just tell me to add more screws...

Suvneer

You have a defective piece. I am sorry you got a defective piece. I wish I could test fit each one before it gets shipped out.
I don't have the same lip anymore but I can send you the HC style no charge. Let me know.
