    Default New look to my car/Or should i say back to stock

    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 . I took most of the tape off, but still need to take some off.

    Anyways here are pics of before and after.

    Before:



    After:

    This is the lip.



    AFTER:

    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?

    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.

    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.
