You definitely want sickaflex other wise any screws and bolts will end up causing little cracks where they were placed due to vibrations and eventually this will worst case scenario break the lip not very likely but could happen so I would sickaflex it get the stuff they use for holding panels on cars : D can't remember which number it is but it's tough can't wait to see this ride out and about good luck

my Ultrex front lip is all held by bolts(was cable tied but didnt sit how I wanted it too) - 1 bolt, 2 oversized washer, 1 nut on each hole and drill extra holes on the lip so it will hold up and sits flush with bumper
mine cops a battering every time I enter/leave my work carpark - very steep driveway

My post about using sikaflex was a joke. If you put it on you will never get it off again.
My front lip has been held on with bolts for a couple of years now without issue*








*May have damaged on a curb due to driver error

Mega scrape/crack on your lip......."FUCK shouldn't have EPICLY GLUED IT TO MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hindsight: Should have bolted it, life would be so much easier right now if i did......

So Sam, since you glued and didn't bolt, your life has become drastically much more difficult?

Actually Farnam, never glue mine, just bolted. Just pointing out that I wouldnt do it. Especially because front lips are so easy to damage and need fixing/replacing

Default New Wheels!

Ladies and gentlemen.... drum roll please!

My latest and biggest mod to date: Rota Gforce 18x9, 5x100 +35 offset in Hyper Black

Picked them up and fitted this morning through Westys Warehouse. A big thank you to them Also a huge thanks to Kym for helping me organise them and sharing his knowledge on tyre sizes etc (I knew nothing). Choosing what design and colour was probably the hardest decision I've had to make regarding my rex... But seeing them being put on this morning I knew I'd made the right choice cos they look sexy as! and as Kym says: "Tough!!"

Next thing to do is get a wheel alignment and looks like my guards have to be rolled. Didn't notice to much knocking/scraping/rubbing on the drive home but yeah I think I better get it done.

Hope you all like
