Default Question about Kenstyle front lip

Okay. I just purchased a polyurethane front lip for the Box. Problem is..it came with no brackets. I dont think I need them, however, if you look along the bottom of the lip, it kinda bows in unless I have something to sort of push the bottom of the lip out on the end corners. There is a hole there along the bottom ends of the lip like a screw goes there. My question is...is there something that I can BUY to fab the brackets to attach from the top to the bottom of the lip to make it more sturdy?

Here are pics:




I just need some sort of bracket to push the bottom out just a bit to eliminate the buldge on along the bottom.

Pics of the buldge:





Please, any advice would help.

And P.S.- I searched through a LOT of threads.

if that was mine

I'd remove the front bumper, mount the lip
and drill a few holes where it bows and zip tie it

They wont be visble and the holes will be small for if you ever have to resell it.

Well, I have gotten it painted and installed. The lumps were gone after I got it back from paint. I showed them to the guy painting them and he said that when he heats it up a bit, they will level out. And I guess they did. Perfect fit on the ride with no lumps. Awesome. Thanks guys for all of your help, BTW.

I was lucky enough to find it on E-bay. It was a Polyurethane version. I had been looking EVERYwhere for one all day and all I kept seeing was the fiberglass versions. The E-bay sellers name is: aero8800

Great guy, fast shipping and product fits like a glove.
