how did you guys put yours on? i put it on but it has gaps in the corners that make it looks to half assed for me to be happy with, so i'm considering cutting some off of each end of it and pulling it to a tighter fit, but wanted to check for other ideas before i do any cutting

i'm putting mine on too today, you have any pics of the gaps? i'm planning to use the two stock pignose brackets and drill holes or use sheet metal screws on the bottom of the bumper. did you drill holes in the wheel well or did you use the existing ones?

just finished putting on the lip and it fits almost perfectly. i did not use the top bracket because it didn't sit properly on the inside of the bumper, making the bolts come up a bit short. so i took the top bracket out and just used regular bolts and the bottom bracket. as far as the gaps on the sides... you really need to just play with it. i just pushed the lip in while i was tightening the outer bolts and it turned out ok. a little bit of gap is inevitable, so just try your best to limit it.

how did u get the ends to match up wit the fenders? I made holes in my bumper and bolted the lip done to the bumper. works great but the ends flare out.

Not to jump onto here and go off but does anyone have a pic of the 91-94 lip on a K's/Q's bumper?

ABC- i just bolted it up on the lowest hole on the fender. once you bolt it up it might flare out a bit, but once you have the sides on just loosen the bolts on the bottom and push in while tightening.

jhay- i've never heard of the 91-94 lip fitting...
