    the first thing i did was fit it …
    then took a DA with 220 and striped the bumper down to plastice anywhere the lip kit was gonna go
    SO : take the lip kit put it on the bumper, trace around it with marker remove the lip kit sand down the bumper below that marker line
    then i used urethane(window urethane) with the primer they use too!!! to stick the lipkit on and used a number of screws to hold in it place where i wanted it to go tight and fit good or whatever(******MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GET ANY URETHANE SQUEEZING OUT!!! I’LL EXPLAIN LATER******)
    once dried (remove screws)
    now 3m has a specific product that is used to adhere plastic with other stuff fiberglass and smc being some of them so your covered look this stuff up! if i remember correctly its a blue color
    PREP: now sand the top edge of that lip it anywhere it makes contact with the bumper and also sand the adjacent piece of the bumper down with 220 and then apply the 3m stuff to fill in any holes from screws gaps from the kit not fitting 100% whatever you gotta do this is the stuff to do it ….it may take more than one coat to fill in large gaps but it will work…to finalize it nice you can even go over it all with a coat of 3m EZ sand(love it!!!) and make it super smooth!

    FYI urethane and expoxy dont mix SO DONT MIX THEM!! IE let the urethane ooze out of the crack and put the 3m stuff over it it will not stick in the long run so make sure your epoxy is from fiberglass to plastic only!!

    also 3m…i know isnt the only epoxy out there but its the one i used and know works i did it a year plus ago and I see the car around all the time still 100%
