My lip broke, but I replaced it HD style.

[KillTheCrow]

Don't even know how or when it broke. Left the dentist office and that's what I saw.

I used stailess self tapping screws with recessed washers because the first time i just used the screws and the first thing that tapped it, ripped the lip right off the screw holes. :eek:
