Body Kit Experts - Rear Lip Question
#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
What is the best way to attach a fiberglass rear add on lip to the factory bumper? My lip is currently held on by screws, which have rusted thru the paint.
Manaray suggested using heavy duty 3M tape and screws.
What are the other alternatives? Suggestions are welcome!
I was thinking of using urethane glue(similar glue that they use for windshields, etc) for making the bond between the two pieces.
Thanks.

Nice car, looks familiar. The bodyshop that put on my kit said both glue and screws should be used for safety and durability. They used the black screws that resist rust on mine. Can you take the rusted screws out, re-sand and paint over the affected areas them use rust resistant screws?

Yeah, the screws are visible. But they were also visible on the splash guards that were on the car before the lip. I told them I didn't trust the Erebuni rear lip and would replace it next year. They didn't want to cover them knowing I was going to change pieces.
Whatever you end up doing, it's going to cost either time, money or both to look right.
Good luck.
