    So I just scraped my driver side lip and it's not sitting on right anymore. Wondering if anyone knew where I could purchase just the one driver side lip? Or would I have to purchase the whole set? Thanks. image.jpg

    Touch up paint could be another option but I heard it's tough getting a match on bp.

    Take it to a body shop and they will repair it. It is a aftermarket part is it not. H

    Thanks for the feedback Harold. But I contacted the dealer today and he said they can order me the one piece for $159 not painted. Says id have to go to a body shop? I don't understand when I first ordered it from them the whole thing came painted all seven pieces. Even eBay has them painted. I'm confused, is he mistaken?

    He is probably mistaken as I recall they sell only painted pieces that come in black, silver, winter grey and white.

    I am not sure you can easily remove that front lip...I've looked at the installation instructions for the entire body kit and that lip is attached with some heavy duty tape and rivets. Probably best to have a body shop take care of that minor damage.

    However, with that being said, body shops here charge an arm and a leg. I scraped my sisters' bumper on her Honda fit and it looks like a little worse that that picture. Cost was 800$ to fix.!!!

    Good luck.

    Thanks, wondering how much the dealer would charge for an install now. There is a bolt/screw under that lip and it's completely broken off that's why I was trying to get a whole new one. I guess it's just the tape and the screw near the tire holding it up now.

    Just try and repair it with touch up first and see how satisfied you are with the job. If not happy ,then deal with it. You can always cover it with a decal or some vinyl ? H
