DIY please.

You also have to be sure to use rubbing alchohol on the spot where you are applying the tape so that the spot where you're using the tape is clean and is sticking to the surface of the car and not the dirt under the car.

Post some pictures! Let's see how it turned out.

sorry i havent checked yw forums in a few days but i ended up borrowing my friends jack/stands and i got under with the drill just fine. but i used the heavy duty outdoor tape too, i just wanted to make sure it would stay on..


but heres the final product + a plastidipping of my bumper lol



im actually way more satisfied with the hd lip than i thought i would be. i thought it looked cheap in pictures but seeing it in person (and on my car) it looks awesome.



oh and for anyone that was wondering, when i tried color matching the hd lip scrap, it didnt work. the paint cracked after drying. cheers!

Just curious, is there any mileage advantage to this or is it all for looks?

Looks mainly...I put one on my bumper to protect it from hitting shit and getting scratched again.

Im thinking about doing this because the previous owner of my car took the lip of my yaris up acrost something HARD! nice and scuffed under there and the factory stock lip had 3 screws missing. (sure hope it didnt happen when i loaned my mom my car for the day ) either way I need a cover up and this looks like it.

Thanks

I gotta be honest, I don't know the part number. I will do some digging though. I know it isn't exclusive to hatchbacks, or the '09+s but the reason I ended up with an OEM stiff replacement is because my car got hit on the front with the original bumper and HD lip that I had installed on that.

When I got the car back from the shop after the bodywork, it had the stiff replacement lip, so I sorta scored the OEM for free.

Interested in your post. Have you got specifics on the wires and plugs?

guys the streets of brooklyn are tough i avoided a drunk driver and hit a monster pot hole or dip in the road whatever it was has ripped my little stock lip thing off so i want to do the hd one. from looking at you guys it just screws into the holes that are there already and maybe some extra 3m tape, and it should be fine correct?

That 3m does not wanna hold to the rubber. Gonna drill small holes and do the zip tie route I guess. Can't figure out the best way to position it so that it would look like a legit lip.
