Haha, but it makes me feel like the lip is going to fly off during my drive later because it's only held on by two bolts and two screws... And some duct tape fore reassurance lol

I must be getting old, cause I am really REALLY tired of the lip scratching/grinding. As it sits, the lip is cracked and it needs some fixing. I am serisously considering removing the lip (even tho the car looks fugly without one)

LOL thanks for the reassurance!

Sounds like you have even through some psych trauma.

Any tip on how to reinforce the mounts then so i can prevent it from falling off so soon?

I got it mounted and i say it looks nice. Doesnt line up perfectly but its decent. I had to mount 4 new different screws to hold up because s5 slots dont match up.

I seen some **** man.... wouldn't recommend it! Lol

Your factory bumper should have nut clips spread out across the bottom of it.
They might have fallen off or been removed. I have prolly 5 screws which just happened to line up. 5 more I convinced to line up. On the very ends my nut clips exploded so I used big washers, nuts and bolts.. its not going anywhere.

Shoot man.. self tapping screws work wonders if your ok with punching new holes in your lip/bumper lol

What are you planning to do with the sides? It would look really good if it wouldn't be so short on the sides.

Well I don't have anymore cause it broke in to a million pieces but maybe I would have probably used the garage sideings or fibreglass it but a Volvo lip would be better than this since its the perfect size
