Bad luck today, how do you repair polyurethane lip?
 

so i was installing my front lip i got the side bolts on and something came up and i had to leave the house, i didn't have any other cars to use so i had no choice, i assumed the lip would stay on with clips, double side tape and screws, unfortunately Murphy law strikes again :cry:

on the freeway the middle part of the lip fell off and shaved off quite a bit of the lip, :(

im trying to stay positive about this, just seeing this incident as another weekend project. :/

here are some pics, any ideas? please don't say buy a new lip that would be my last resort.

I'd just buy a new lip - those are cheap enough that the primary function for me is to protect my front air dam from scrapes. If I replace it once a year (haven't had to yet), I'd consider it worth its price.

Polyurethane is a chemical reaction and not a thermoplastic, so melting anything into it won't really work. Bondo absolutely won't work as polyurethane is flexible.


Honestly with that much damage, you're looking at a new lip...

My phone is only pulling up one picture but if its the sti looking lip from jonmotoring, I will sell you one cheap and used once.

OMG :( i feel you my brotha!! same thing happened to me, i had it two days most and fucked it up just like how yours is in the picture :(

ok i wont tell you to buy a new lip

Just get a new one. They are disposable parts. I'm already on my third one.

Yeah everyone at work been telling me to just get a new one , yes it is the one I got from jonmotoring, I'm taking it off this weekend, I'm so down cuz I lost quite a bit of money
oh well lesson learned, I'm going to focus on another project that I had in mind, making the h11 fog harness that connects to the factory wireing, similar to the one you get on the usdm fog light from Toyota

ok good Cuz i was starting to feel like an idiot

Sorry forgot to reply but ill sell it for 140
