Well ever since i bought the car i hated the front lip. So finally i went to wash my car today, and decided to get rid of the ricey lip. After i took the lip off, i found out that who ever installed the lip, used a double sided tape under neath :no:. I took most of the tape off, but still need to take some off.

Anyways here are pics of before and after.

Before:

I think you should have a replacement before ripping something off your car.

Now you're left with all that shizz that the old lip left behind.

But yes, that lip wasn't the most attractive.

from what i understand, you're supposed to use double sided tape on lip installs; helps conform to the body lines of the car.

was this isak's btw? :thinking:

if you would have taken it off carefully, could have sold that lip and bought you a new one. But yea...looks good without it.

imho it looked 10x's better w/lip

Thats only because of the damage left after the removal. That lip is hard to pull off on a WRX. You must have a FMIC to make it look good.
