I got this kind of tape, would this work?

scotch 3m mounting tape. Or is a bad idea to use this for whatever reason?

 

A little update: my HD lip died... it is no longer on my car, for now.
In my DIY, I used speed nuts to help the 3M tape stay put. While, at work there is this weird, make shift parking block barrier, and its really high. Well one day I pulled in too far, and it snapped the 2 center most speed nuts like potatoe chips. I did not replace them, and drove around daily at speeds of 80 mph, rain or shine, for 2 months. When I was driving to Texas last weekend and stopped for gas I noticed the lip was "sagging". Basically, the 3M tape alone was not strong enough to support the lip in the very center, especially in the heavy rain that was coming down that day. So I tore it off
at the gas station so it wouldn't be hanging in the street as I drove.

 

As soon as the guys at DT9 send the vinyl for the lower grill, I will definitly add anouther HD lip, but this time I am going to do it right. Take my time, premeasure where the tape line will be, and get more speed nuts. My car just looks naked nowwithout the lip, and I can't wait to replace it.

 

nice write looks easy to do. might get those

 

soon as it gets nicer my stickerbomb hd lip will be on.........

 

I did this to my xb2, but as a functional mod. As low as I am (on ksports) I scraped on EVERYTHING. Now, instead of scraping the bumper, the lip takes the abuse. No tears after 3 months..and I scrape on quite a bit.

I used only the adhesive tape, it's still holding strong!

 

hey druidiron, do you still have this lip mod on? if so, how is it holding up?

 

I ment to post that I had removed it but I forgot I guess. Anyway, no I dont have it on anymore. I scraped pretty hard on a speed bumb in Texas, and it broke the 2 front speed nuts in half. I did not replace them and about a month later I was making an 8 hour drive in heavy rain the whole way. At about 4 hours I stopped to get gas and stretch, and noticed the lip was hanging down a bit in the center where the speed nuts used to be : (
So I tore it all off right there at the gas station. I am almost certain if the nuts where still there it never would have happened, but no support plus 4 hours of hard rain at 65 MPH, the 3M tape could not keep it up. I will do it again, but like I said, this time the whole bumber is coming off so I can do a really straight job and really secure it down this time. The car looks naked without it.

I'm using 3M tape with it, but the 3M isn't holding to the foam at all. What's wrong?

 

I agree....calling bs flag on this lol

 

Just installed my HD lip lastnight using selftapping screws and the lip is holding up well, i also did the liscense plate relocation from HD and its looking good.

hopefully this link will work my computer is being stupid today

 

how much did it all cost you?

 

Less than $20 for the lip and the brackets for the relocation together.

we should meet up this weekend or something and you can check it out plus i wanna hear that exhaust.

 

My names Corey As well. Best day would probably be Sunday. I work sat til 5

 

This mod would be worth it if it was hard plastic so it would serve an actual purpose besides aesthetics even thought it does look nice.
