Default INGS front lip

Maybe its a stupid question but I picked up a INGS front lip from a fellow member. Do i have to take off the front bumper to install it? It doesnt want to fit while mounted on the car.

You might have to take it to a body shop to be installed properly

why would i have to take the rims off? The problem im having the fitment problem with is the the horizontal length of the lip. I cant get it to side of the lips to meet with the side of the tire well.

Yea, I had the same problem too. you have to take the bumper fascia off and than put one in to the lip and you will have to bend the bumper inward for it to fit in with the other end of the lip. Anyways, hope this help and good luck with it.

Yup.....its a snug/perfect fit ! The Carson lip fits this way too. No need to take off bumper, try to heat the bumper up with blow dryer.
