Bayson R Front Lip problems
 
I'm trying to install my front lip but the ends of it are overlapping the push tabs inside the front fenders. Everything underneath has lined up. Help?

I'm assuming that it is the sti style front lip, mine does the same but I just left it without using the push tabs. Seems to be holding up fine although I believe the push tabs are supposed to go through the holes on the lip there to hold it in place

Unfortunately, with any replica aero parts, you are going to run into fitment issues (however mild or major they may be). If you aren't satisfied with that part, you could always try exchanging for another and hope for better fitment.

Just to clarify -- I'm talking about the push tabs located directly in front of the wheels inside the fender. The push tab locations underneath the car ( near the skid plate ) line up perfectly. The fitment over all is great I just can't seem to figure out how the sides need to be connected without blocking those two push tabs on both sides.

Will do ASAP. Might be tomorrow, though.

@mcbrawr It'll be easier to help you out. Thanks in advance.

I have this lip, there shouldn't be any overlap. The lowest plastic clip in the fender liner should line up with the hole in the lip. There should be a supplied clip that replaces the OEM one to accommodate the additional thickness of the lip.

This may sound like a dumb question but have you tried flipping the lip around? I had weird fitment issues until I realized that my lip was upside down.

Right, sorry for not clarifying but I figured you were talking about the ones at the front wheel wells at the end of the front bumpers.
I just kind of let mine hang there too although BaysonR does supply extra push tabs, like another commentor had said, which allows you to replace the push tab so it fits the lip and fender liner.

It intends for you to take that clip out, then use two screws to hold everything together. Did that on mine and it works fine.

As in remove the two push tabs located there normally? Please excuse my hesitation, I want to be sure before I drill into my car lol
