|
|
My ride was fitted with HOS bodykit, but my rear lip is torn...due to kerb..
So thinking of removing the rear lip only..will the ride look ugly without that?
My ride is pearl white in colour.. there is a layer of black lining which is the double side tape between the kit and the car...
I had saw some ride without the rear lip look ok, but their ride is blue or grey which the black lining is not so obvoius...
Should i remove the rear lip only or remove all??? _________________ "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." |

Why not just remove the black lining and polish off the area. _________________

| I am on modelista kit, rear bumper got torn off many times on kerb. I changed to the normal rear, now problems free. I suggest you change once and for all, not ugly to me. |

| Is there a rear lip for the NFL wish that is more kerb friendly than the HOS version? |

| I had the same prob w my HOS. Changed the rear to Wald now no more prob but be careful you can't always reverse all the way till the rear tyres touch the kerb. |

Thanks for the tip.
Just bumped the rear lip a couple of weeks ago at the exit of novena sq carpark. There was this hump immediately after the exit ramp. The bump was so loud it startled the security guards nearby.
Fortunately it was only a small crack which i taped it up. I have been contemplating to change the rear lip for a while. |

| Bro, you may wanna check your bumper. The bump might cause it to be a bit out of alignment. |
