Angry Busted my babys front lip today...FML!! (Pics) So now i have a question....

Well i was heading down the interstate and a dang 18 wheelers tire busted and i ran over part of it so it busted my front lip! Ive been wanting to get a carbon fiber one for a while now so i just bought one a few min ago, here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

My questin is, will i have to buy a new stock bottom lip to attach the carbon fiber one to? or will i just have to take off the broken lip and just re-install the carbon fiber one?

I'm pretty sure you need that factory piece to mount the aftermarket lip too, although some one else who has one may chime in.

Thanks man, and i read that too, but ya never know with these ebay people. I just wanted to ask on here to make sure i was going to be ok with it and if not i would buy another stock lip today if i needed it so i wouldnt have to wait on it to get here....i hate driving around with the lip like it is now...Makes me feel like im walking around in public with a black eye and everyone is looking at me

If you look at the last 2 pics it shows that the factory lip is not there and the new lip takes its place.
