I can duct tape it together... Its not so much the cost, as I worry about my premium going up.

that's all bad! i thought having my scratch (that's coming out today) under the front lip was the worst thing mbworld sees. can you submit that to insurance? and your front lights look good!

I have no complaints about them. Shipping is insane fast and bobby is a hell of a guy.

Maybe I am just a black sheep

anyway my CF lip just got here but it doesnt line up... there is a BIG gap between my bumper and the lip.. did this occur to any of you?

I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS NEEDED for an install I just need some input from fellow members...

did u have to do any modification to make yours fit? BTW bobby has NO problem sending me another one so ABSOLUTELY no issues with them, but I would like to spare us both the mission by trying to do it anyway..

any DIY?

thanks guys

sorry to say, but they are all like that. you will need to bolt it up and tighten it with bolts to force bent the front lip to get rid of whatever gap there is.
