TTe installation
So I am finally going to install my tte lip this weekend, well I am going attempt. I got the driller and the epoxy from PePboys. It looks like i have to mix it up or something, it came in 2 packets and I have 5 mins to install it before it sets once its mixed. Is this the right kind? I still have to go get the sand paper.
Any advices before I start my saturday project?
Thank you.

please post a pic of exactly what bonding agent you intend to use for if its the wrong agent your lip will fall off while driving at hwy speeds
you should be using a urethene to urethene bonding/sealing agent that does not req mixing and takes a few hrs to cure

TTe install
Hey man, congrats with the spoiler. That is one of the best looks for for the GS. The best thing you can do to intall this item is as follow. You are going to need someone to hepl.
1- Place spoiler in place under bumper. Once in place take a wax pencil, outline location.
2- Take sand paper (80-120) sand are below pencil mark until rough. Clean area w/ degreacer.
3- Put back spoiler in place, double check line.
4- Apply screws at bottom & ends of spoiler.
5- Believe or not use clear silicon from Home Depot, aplly a line (1/4" thick) of it at 3/16" to 1/4" from wax line.
6- With your partner's help, lift spoiler in place, use 2" blue masking tape & start taping from center out to each end. Place pieces of tape ( 30" long) in 3" increments from bottom of spoiler to top of bumper. Pull tape until spoiler is in place.
7- Place car in area that can stay overnight (garage, etc.), use a 50" piece of 2x4, place in under
spoiler. Place jack under 2x4 & apply gentel preassure to it.
8- Next morning, remove jack, tape & cut out excess silicon carefully & you should be good to go.
I hope this can help you. It should look great with no screw holes visible. Good luck!

I don't think I have right stuff. It said rubber and plactic bonding...so I am not sure now. I'll check it when I get home.
Where would I get urethene bonding agent? PepBoyz?

Now that is a thorough write up on a TTE Lip install!! You would almost think that Eliel wrote the manual.

actually eliel and i did our gs together back in the day but his instructions as laid out are correct but with one exception , you cannot use silcone to bond the top , it will not bond or create a strong enough bond for the lip to withstand hwy winds nor heat
you must use a urethene to urethene bonding agent similar to what tte sent but the one we used , if you remember eliel, was a stronger more permant kind ,

instead of tapeing up the car,, just borrow 3 sissor jack,(stock) and but 1 in the middle and 1 on each corner, then turn the jack till it is snug under the lip. take the jacks out of ur friends and family car, use more jacks if u can get ur hands on them. but the jacks work best, its ez and adjustable.
