Boo - lip screw fell out on aero kit
what a joke! i noticed the rubber on the lip looked a little weird - reached underneath and the grommet had fallen out! not a big deal but I need to head over to the dealer now...waste of time

anyone else w/ this issue?

Yes and a lot of us are without that rubber piece.

I've been that way since about 10,000 miles (30,000 miles now), I don't mind.

Yeh that happened to me too, I just used some super glue and glued the rubber back on and threw the screw away some where.

I, to, removed the rubber piece; the disimilar material relative to the lip just didn't look right to me. IMHO looks better off than on.

Later, Ken

I think I lost mine in a touchless car wash. I really liked the look with having it on so I went to the dealership to price out what it would cost to replace it. The dealer said it was $210. What an absolute rip off!

I guess I will have to deal with not having it or just wait until a more subtle lip comes out.

Just saw this if anyone was interested: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...evo-x-lip.html

Yeah, rubber came off almost immediately from the dealership... well atleast half of it did. Finall after buying some mushroom plugs and trying to keep it on myself, I just removed it entirely.

I don't think we're reporting it falling off without bottoming out.

It's unavoidable if it rubs against the ground..
