You guys really should be more carefull with your cars or dont do mods like that in the first place. Like when i put rims on my car in the summer I park like a foot from the curb just so i dont get rash on the rims.

BTW you might be able to fix it with fibre glass or some isht, though it probably wont ever look right again.

dont get an other ABS plastic lip, that stuff will always crack and break
get a polyurethane lip, made of the same stuff as your bumpers... looks better and is much more durable

i don agree - even stock lips and sideskirts crack, its the way you drive, alot of pressure when smacking the ground

looks better? can't even tell the difference in material after you paint and if you can its a ****ty paint job...

Just buy another one, I cracked my first lip and I just recently bought my 2nd lip. Not worth the hassle of trying to repair when you can get it for a 100 bucks.

summation of how I broke mine, on highway wheel-well slush turned to ice fell off of a crv hit passenger side of my car, couldn't be avoided. Consequences of driving lowered in the winter. Problem is that I have to fix mine, I didn't like the play in my lip so I glued it to the bumper, stupid idea
The thing I learned from this bad idea though is that the glue I used is very stable on ABS, it's called Pro-Bond polyurethane glue, not only is it stable but it's sandable and paintable. When I fix it I will post before and after pics to show the turnout, my time isn't very valuable, and that's all it will cost me to fix this so it's well worth the hassle IMO.
