new question on the 5axis front lip
so I just noticed that the lip is held down by double side tape and 2 screws on the sides. My question is that if you scrape, wont the lip lift up (ripping off the double side tape) and fall to the ground?
when i had my rs1 lip, each time i scraped, it would lift up and drop but it was resting on the middle piece of the bumper ( where the grille is and where the mini grilles were).

i would figure since u just burned a few hundred bucks on a front lip.. u would drive a little more cautious.. no offense... check my link to my myspace and look at my dodge ram with the lowered bumper cover... wrecked the bumper cover (front lip)in two days..cause i forgot the truck was just lowered so everyday since i had to be super carefull,not to drag my front end in fast food parkin lots...

There are 5 total screws, 2 on the outside and 3 proportionally spaced throughout the center part of the lip.
And they can scrape pretty bad without budging a millimeter assuming you install it right.

XionLion: i always drive careful. its just those inevitable things like driving around in an unknown area and you encounter a speedbump or steep driveway.
TylerC08: When i check trsdsparks for the install manual, it only stated the 2 screws (1 each) of in the fender/tire area
STNC: exactly, but it seems thats one of the only ways you can mount the 5axis front lip

Yeah, I used all five pre-tapped screws. With the snow and retarded roads, I had to make sure it was one with the bumper.
