who else has a saggy stillen front lip?

Thanks scottIN.

I haven't actually seen or held the splitter yet so Im not sure what can be done.

I wonder why some people are not experiencing any sagging issue but Id rather take action now and not have to pray to be a lucky one.

spray some high density spray foam inside the hollow spaces, that stuff is rigid. Only issue is it might crumble over time if you are constantly grinding and squeezing the underside of the lip on obstructions.

Finally got a chance to unpack and test fit the lip last night. The lip feels very sturdy to me. It didn't flex or bend at all. Hard to imagine it will sag but better safe than sorry.

When you guys lined it up did the lip fall into place because mine doesn't seem to 'sit' anywhere perfectly...

But I'll be going scottINs route and using a 30" piece of aluminum and epoxy. ho ho ho wish me luck.

Wow it took about 4 hours to install the lip but this was my first time doing anything like this. Most of it was me trying to get it to fit. I did remove my bumper. I was very close to giving up then I got the idea to screw in the ends first, a bolt/nut in the middle, then two bolt/nuts inbetween on each side. It ended up lining up quite nicely.

The preinstalled tape did not work/stick for me and provided self tapping screws were pretty much worthless. I doubt those screws could hold up a velvet painting of a whale and dolphin getting it on let alone a lip going 80 mph.

I'll try to post pictures later but I think everyone has seen a black 370Z with a stillen lip. All in all I am satisfied, with the lip and my effort. Haha.
