hey guys
pics are of a lip kit i put on my g6....its mainly made for the sedan...for the coupe, the wheel area flares out more and i have a gap in a little area behind the wheel well...doesn't bother me that much....looking to see if someone could help me close the gap....maybe a lil heat could help close it more...i don't think 3m tape would work that well...i really feel like 3m tape after a week would just undo itself...im not looking to take the whole back lip piece off to mold it into shape...just wondering if anyone has any expertise in making this look more flush...thanks

im in the bucks co/ ne philly area...will pay in money or beer

your best best if permanent 3m adhesive- use clamps (with rubber pads) to hold it down for a day. and while the clamps are on, use a heat gun to nicely heat the panel.

Just take the kit off of the car and send it to me so I can use it on my fiance's sedan...... I would say probem solved, then all you'll need to do is find a GXP kit.

If your not looking to take it to a shop, this seems like a logical approach. I'd give it a try. I'm assuming the lip kit isn't fiberglass.

no its plastic...its flexible....guess i gotta find some strong ass glue/adhesive

You could always bondo it and paint, but then your talking $$ for a body shop.

that wouldn't make sense cuz the plastic would be breaking the bondo from the force of it trying to get straight again.

get the gray 3m tape, heat up the panels a bit and make sure to clamp it down and heat it.

I wouldn't bondo it while it pulling away. I can't see the pics since I'm at work, but if it isn't bad just filling behind it and painting over it could work.
