it is sortof hard to make and you might need someone elese to help you

-the first thing you do is lay the fiber mesh stuff out and have someone hold it for you where you want it on your lip.

-mix the epoxy...you'll need a lot for your lip.

-spread the epoxy all over the fiber and cover it all. dont forget to get the edges of the fiber so it dosent peel. the epoxy will seep into the fiber and create a strong bond. let it sit over night.

- if you mess up a little dont worry because you can always sand it down and fill the parts in with more epoxy.



if you want to save money you might want to put carbon fiber only on the front or tip of your lip since it will be taking the most beating, but covering the whole thing is fine too.


when you attach the lip to your bumper you can drill through the carbon fiber or you can make pre drilled holes
