last night while driving on I-75 some sort of road debris hit my front bumper. i didnt think anything of it cause it didnt sound to loud or anything, and my car just ran it over. this morning i go to look out the window at my car and i see the front stock lip is hanging off somewhat. as i checked seems like the clips broke also. would their be any way to remedy this without buying a new one?

 

Nope -- I'm in the same boat you are. I previously tried some industrial strength adhesive and it works until you hit something else.

 

hmmm, would an aftermarket carbon fiber lip just be put on top of it? or it replaces it whole? if so i might just buy one in a lil bit. but for now i have to try to fix that because i have to drive the car alot.

 

EXACTLY! CF LIP be crazy! ON ANY evo except for black.

BLACK + CF

 

Same thing happened to me- and also a friend of mine who also have an evo... This isn't as rare as you think lol. I used Marine-goop and it seems to be staying on just fine.

 

I feel you man. I-75/Florida Turnpike are the worst. Road debris has dented my front grill and ripped off half my rear bumper on my Accord

 

Same thing happened to me on I-75 up here in Michigan. It was like 2am and I was driving and a semi truck next to me had a blowout. The steel belted radial and whole tire came flying at my car and I ran it over. It scratched my lip and rear bumper. Luckily most of it rubbed out and the rest is covered up with touch up paint and you can't even tell it happened. But, at first I thought I hit a dog or something cause I was merging and looking back cause there was a bunch of semi's in a row I was trying to merge into. =/ That sux man, I hope you can get it fixed. Try the industrial strength double sided tape, or a 3m adhesive equally strong.

 

use some glue!... automotive bonding adheasive. Automix 3m 8115, 2part body panel adheasive. it will work.

 

Bummer! Could be a covered claim under your car insurance comprehensive coverage. You should check it out.

 

i gotta try something because i really dont want to buy a new oem lip, also the underside black cover is comeing down, its such a pain. it reminds me of old times with my rsx. only thing was the rsx was dropped and thats why i had so many problems

 

how much is a new OEM lip anyways?

 

Autobody adhesive is your friend. If you decide to replace it, that can be a little more costly.

 

well, when you go and get a CF lip does the oem lip come off or its put on top of the oem?

 

Same happened here.. on I-75 as well. I used a small bolt and nut, drilled through the whole assembly, and bolted it on. From the outside you can't really tell (black car, black bolt), but it's held very well since. I also removed the outer corner "plastic, screw, rivet things" that hold the underbody plastic on, and replaced them with bolts. The whole thing is solid now.

BS mitsu quality there.

 

I believe the CF lip is a direct replacment of the lower lip.
