IX Front Lip Help

[gen4k20a2]

I hope this is in the right area....just noticed everything was rearranged!!

Anyways

The 2 plastic brackets on my lip, nearest the left and right fenders have broken. I came into a driveway, slowly at that, and it took a LITTLE scrape and now the corners of the lip are hanging. It seems the plastic pieces that hold the lip the the bumper have come off the lip.

I need to know what i need to get to fix this. Double sided 3m tape doesnt make it look right. Any vendors have a solution. I hope i dont need a new bumper too!

Join the club. Since my car has been track whore'd out I just left it as is. I attempted to repair using double sided tape but the verdict is: get a new lip.

So those plastic brackets are on the lip only? The bumper is ok? How much do new lips run...painted of course! :)

The design of these front lips are done badly. AFAICT these plastic brakets are held on to the lip via thermal fusion during the manufacturing process, and its adhesion power is very week.

If you are good with your hands, you can:
1) remove the lip by removing the screws from the back of the lip
2) You will see that the broken plastic brackets will remain with the front bumper as you remove the lip
NOTE: Remember the orientation of the plastic bracket on the bumper.
3) Sand off the surface of the bracket and the location where it attaches to the lip.
4) Goto your local hardware store and pick up some heavy duty epoxy glue.
5) Be really careful when you glue the brackets back in its place because if you're off by a few tenths of an inch the lip will not fit right.
6) Screw the lip back in after the epoxy has dried.

If that's too much to do, just buy a new lip ;)
