Installed TTE Front Lip-Pictures
OK, I finally installed my TTE front lip. Everything went very good. Thanks to everyone's tips and all the previous threads on installing this really helped. Anyway, here are a bunch of pics of the install.
This first pic is of the lip sitting on the ground ready to jump onto the front bumper.

Here is the front bumper where I had to sand if rough. The grease pencil trick is the way to go so that you know exactly where to sand. I then wiped it down with mineral spirits is why you don't see the grease pencil marks. I should have taken a picture of that but it was too late once it wiped it down. Sorry!

This is a picture of the black adhesive that ooozed out from the lip once I installed it. I then basically scraped all the black stuff off with a wooden stick and then used mineral spirits to clean it up good before it dried.

This is a picture of the front with all the tape and supports holding the lip tight to the bumper. I used those floor cushion pad things under the corners. Worked great because they have just enough give that you can jam them in there without too much trouble.

Here is a picture of the drivers side of the car showing how I used the floor pads to hold up the lip to dry. I also used some clamps on the end because it would not sit tight in those areas.

Here is a close up of the passanger side corner. I ended up with no gaps. There is still a bid of the black stuff peeking out thou. I will need some suggestions on how to get rid of that.

Last picture. Close up of the lip. I also got the TTE logo installed. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my experience installing this lip. I do have one question for everyone who has done this. What is the best way to rid myself of that last bid of black adhesive that I can see along the edge? I really went crazy with the mineral spirits but just could not get all of it out. Can I just go ahead and lay a line of touch up paint in there? I will take some picture of the entire car with the lip installed sometime this week and will post some before and after pictures.
