RE: HELP WITH TYPE R LIP
It's off by an entire inch, as in not wide enough?
I would say heat it up slowly but I don't know if I would do that simply because you could ruin the way it was molded (I'm guessing it's the urethane lip correct?)

RE: HELP WITH TYPE R LIP
Do you guys use any additional adhesive strips to help with fitment? Are the 4 screws that come with them all that's needed to really attach one and make it fit correctly? Two machine screws each for the fender sides?
TayloMade07, on your Mugen one- how many screws do you have attached? 4?

RE: HELP WITH TYPE R LIP
I have a urethane type R lip that is also off by about 1/2 inch. I need to stretch the heck out of it to fit.
NA is fine but, i'd rather be blown!
