Front Lip Gap....Is this normal?

roadrnnr · 03-31-2009, 07:14 PM

Just put my front lip on and while it looks pretty tight I am wondering if this is normal.

I used the OEM tape but used the 3M adhesive promoter also.

It is definitely on tight and I do not think it will come loose but should I expect it to be any tighter to the body>

You guys that got one please compare with yours and let me know.

Thanks,

The sedan kit has the weather stripping thing and it makes a huge difference. We installed the coupe, once we finally got an undamaged one, and it has a thin gap like yours.

btw-looks good!!

OK Thanks to all I guess I will leave it as is.

I bought it from Honda/Acura World in Buffalo but I lucked out and got it not damaged. The front took two weeks to get and I had to call a few times.

They give no tracking numbers.

I would not recommend them as another here got the stuff damaged from them twice.

I am going with CHH for the sides when I get around to get them.

I will be putting on the back in a few weeks

Thanks, All

It is Atomic Blue and it is a 08 LX

A little gap is common. Car looks good by the way.
