Oh man, I feel your pain KC. I'd hate to have some part get messed up like that on my car. 130mph is fast, but the F can handle more. If you are thinking about putting that thing back on, try polyurethane glue. It's a bit on the permanent side, but I'm sure it won't happen again.

Ouch that's too bad man! I'm sorry, I feel your pain, road killed a raccoon a couple weeks ago at night that tore up my two month old lip, but at least you can fix yours!

wow, this exact same thing happened to my CF lip about 3 weeks ago. I plan on having the shop paint the middle color match since its where its cracked and leave the splittlers CF. Good luck!

thats why im always weary of just using tape to hold on body parts.

^ yes.. it was very naive of me to think the tape would hold

damn bro 130mph and the damage wasnt too bad...maybe like Raj said lip may be too low

sorry to bump an old thread, but I'll be having a Lexon CF front lip installed in a few weeks and don't want to replicate the OP's experience.... I have a clear bra on the front bumper... will this change what I should do? from the OP's posts, did he use a 3M product that is different from the "automotive" 3M tape???? can/should I glue the lip to my bumper (that has the clear bra on it) as someone else suggested above? (I do track the car and routinely drive 120-130mp on the highway with DD) I'd also like to top the car out some day (170mph +) at the texas mile or something similiar.....

^ i attached the lip over the clear bra... thats why it didnt hold.. plus i didnt clean the surface well enough...my suggestion (from experience) is to use something called 'adhesive primer' if u r going to attach it over the clear bra... clean VERY well with rubbing alcohol before using the primer... this is why I did after my unfortunate event..hasnt come off since.. hope this helps

Dayum 130! but sorry to hear about the 3m failure. I used 3m tape for my roof wing too and on my last wash i felt the wing barely hanging on

im sorry but, cmon guys seriously? 3M take on a lip and 130mph.. you cant put all that together and realize that YOU did something wrong? you really thought TAPE was gonna hold? since when? your suposto fasten with screws and brackets..
