Make sure you really clean off the areas which the adhesive will be attaching to the bumper.
I used Windex then alcohol wipes on the bumper so that the 3M tape sticks better. Also make sure you are using the outdoor mounting tape. That stuff is much better. Don't go anything other than 3M.

that was the only time I painted it while on the car, it's not a good idea as spray paint gets literally everywhere.... it didnt really matter to me I was getting a new paintjob at that time anyway.....
I have my shop do it prior to installing on the car, that way they can add flex additive which spray cans don't have, that's the best way to do it.

yea dude, my bumper is fiberglass and only a few inches off the ground, so I need protection.. and yea it may seem ghetto at first but there is undeniable genius in it you gotta admit...
because there is nothing on the market quite like this, all the lips you can buy are fiberglass or carbon fiber... the closest thing would be polyurethane which can take a pounding as well, but these are all bigger style lips that fully attach themselves onto the lower portion of your bumper... the HD lip is something nice and subtle that still serves it's purpose really well, protects your kit and pretty easy on the eyes as well.
but yea my car at the end of the day is just a nissan, I drove that thing from Van to fckin Toronto bro, 4200km through rough terrain

Sick car J-Chow. So in terms of the front lip, was it hard to curve the plastic around the 2 points that jut out? I want to do this for my car as I've already touched the bottom on a curb... |

the lip is made of foam, and it's very pliable so it can bend in

^^ Reading that comment on Home Depot, A bunch of you guy are going to the Home Depot on Terminal, I went during lunch and there's only 2 packs left, one which somebody opened.
That being said, I'm wondering if this will hold @ hwy speeds or say when @ Mission Raceway for street legals
