a little help
so the bottom lip on my front bumper is either warping or falling off. on one side there is like a half inch gap that is pretty noticable between the lip and the bumper and I was wondering what I should do to fix this. How was it on there to begin with from the factory? Is there an actual easy way for me to fix it or should I bring it to the dealer to have them do it because I dont want it getting worse. thanks -kyle

Depends if you broke the factory mounts (like I did). If that is the case you will have to get a new lower lip -- or you could just drill it back into place with some self taping screws. Granted it may look like crap but it would be fixed.

hmm when I jack the car up today I will take a better look at the mounts I didnt realize there were separate mounts for the lip I figured it was just special glue from the factory or something haha I'm dumb thanks for the help

ok so its not mounts or anything it just looks like it got pulled off or warped here are some pictures to give you an idea...any ideas how I can fix this without replacing it...I was thinking about ghetto-ly drilling a screw through the bottom up where u cant see it (flathead screw) but is there a better way to do this?

I'll have to check out these pics when I get home -- my stupid network here won't let me view them. Well I can tell you this without viewing them, I did glue my lower lip back up once but soon as you hit something (let's say a road cone while auto-x ..shut up greg!) it will break right off again. Now if this is bent, you will prolly be better off drilling it back together...you would need some seriously strong adhesive to hold that in place.
Soon as I get home I'll give you further input on the pictures you posted.
