Finally got my JDM OEM Lip kit

[remcafee]

i managed to get off the old adhesive, man that was tedious and a pain! i got all new rubber lip moldings and i did not get toyotas one because they come gray, i instead picked up a roll of hondas molding it comes in black, should look really goodhttps://www.yarisworld.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=62562&stc=1&d=16787466 55

Mine might be aftermarket. I don’t remember if the number on the back says Toyota. What I’m wondering is does yours look the same, or do I need to trim mine along the bend (marked in red).

Hmmm... yours has that lip too... I'd have to see if I mounted mine correctly.

Thanks for taking a pic!

you are missingthe rubber molding it looks like, the factory has that rubber molding around it maybe that fills in the gap

Oh... I wonder if I can buy that separately? Would you mind testing yours out without the rubber and see how it looks?

I'm thinking the issue here is trying to use a JDM grill insert on a USDM bumper cover. JDM bumper cover is shorter which means it does not have the same curvatures as the USDM.

remcafee, would you mind testing this theory on your USDM bumper?

if i have the time i will, i got a track weekend im doing so it wont be anytime this week, im going to install the lip kit today and hopefully it all goes smooth, i had to repaint it 4 times i wasnt happy with my results, finally i got it to where i am happy, its tricky to prep the surface on it as its flexible plastix

flex aditive is fun isnt it..and it screws with the mix of the paint thus throwing off your gun adjustments

exactly, its hard to match with the rest of the car paint, i went ahead and added a little slight more yellow tint to my mix and its as close as its gonna get, i respect all painters, its very hard to do, especially if you want a good finish

Nice!!! Are the side skirts even with the pinch welds? I don't want side skirts much lower than that.

Are you going to install the top grill too??? Look for a spoiler, even if they are replicas...

[sh0rtlife]

id rock that.....did you lose and ground clearance on the nose?...looks like you did and didnt at the same time

i want the rear bumper bit most of all
