The N1 lip is priced right...great deal at Intense

 

how did you install it? ive got the screws for the side, brackets for the bottom and i bought some 3m tape for the top. the only thing is im worried if the 3m tape will make enough contact on the top.

 

it was the 3m tape that came with it that messed it up,i had it on less than a month and it got destroyed,the 3m tape came apart from the middle bumper and flew back under the bumper..unreal i have to say..their has to be a better way to put this thing

 

ya ive been worrying about that too which is why i havent installed it yet. i know the sides and bottom will be fine but at high speeds, i dont see the tape holding. any suggestions anyone??

 

what omg

 

yes it is gone! it actually happened yesterday too..i was hearing something rubbing against the ground "chhhhhh chhhhh chhhhh" and i pulled over and i started laughing cause i knew this would happen,and low and behold the lip was bent back behind the bumper..atleast it lasted almost a month..lol

 

Disturbing, I just had mine put on.

 

dam Carlos, that sux

 

How does the oem lip attach?

 

the thing with the n1 lip is it has an almost horizontal top curve to make it look more flush with the bumper. however, this keeps the vertical part of the lip from being completely flat against the tape/bumper. i think this is what keeps the top from being very secure. maybe shave down the very top?

 

my bodyshop did shave some of the top down, but it still is not flush.

 

the same with mine i got a gapp the size of a st pete hooker on the top of my lip where it connects to the top !! i got some bolts holding it down underneath the bumper and some srews on the side of the bumper but no tape !! maybee i will go get tsome 3m tape and see wut happens!

 

I have the ABS N1 Lip. My 3m tape is coming off somewhat. I have not had a chance to work on it on my own. I devoted a lot of time, energy and money to getting this lip on and I do not want to drive over it!!

I do see the sail of air that the gap could produce within the lip. Psycraft, how fast were you driving? Over 120 during any portion of the past month?

I do not want to put dtm support rods on the bumper, but I will if I have too. I also don’t think that added more brackets on the bottom will help much with the sail. The only non-rod thing I see is that making the original brackets stronger and taking the flexibility out of the lower part of the lip, would fix the problem. Maybe something like a steel ruler attached to stronger brackets.

*The lip looks sooo good from the side.

 

no i wasnt driving over 120 within the last month i usually do 80,the thing came off doing around 65ish..thats wheni was hearing the noise

 

i hit speeds between 120-140 sometimes during road trips so i need to make sure this lip is secure. the lip seems pretty stiff already so i think ill just use the 3m tape and hope for the best. i got a roll for $5 and i think i will use 2 layers against each other to make sure it is touching the bumper. ill play around with it towards the end of this week and let you guys know what i end up doing.
