I am sorry to hear that happened to you, is your car ok?

Regarding the sides and rear like stated earlier by James if there is enough interest in the front then sides and a rear will definitely be on their way to match is this is the first time ABS has made a lip for the CL.

PM me or reply with any further questions, concerns, or comments guys.

Oh Shit,..reading this doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. I just bought the lip and the bodyshop painted it yesterday. Hopefully they will install it on my CL before the weekend. If none of you guys think 3m tape is going to work, what will?

Omar, what did your guys do to install it on your CL and if it's the same method (the two screws in the fender), how is yours not falling off.

I might be using some really rough sand paper on the lip of the CL and behind the new lip and Gorilla gluing the damn thing on!!! What do you guys suggest?

There are many ways you can make the lip stay on. But that requires weed; an imagination; and fabrication.

I would highly suggest talking to the body shop about it. If you let them know that the middle has no support they will find a way to make sure it stays there...

you should try to take some progress pics of your lip being done... i just like to see how things come together from beginning to end.

wait... which lip did you buy??? the one posted earlier thats for the accord?? or the mugen lookin one?
I bought the one with that looks like the OEM TL one. As for progress pic, I wish. Unforunately, I'm always working so by the time I get out, they're closed

We still have this lip available for $100 picked up or $170 shipped. As for a proper way of securing this lip, I would say use the two screws that go on the side. On the Bumper and use double sided tape in the middle to secure it there.

Thanx-Ivan

P.S. If you guys have anymore questions Omar does not work here anymore. I will be taking care of the forums.

cons: gotta rig the lip so it wont fall off. not so durable as the ww lip. if you scrape the bottom of your front bumper being low, you'll definitely kill this lip.

pros: looks really good on the cl.
