shit you would think they still made the car

it only took 3 days for me to to get the kit shipped to Canada.Only real question I have is I have a dual magnaflow setup on my r/t am I supposed to cut the cutouts to the full amount?

thanks!

i know how exciting that can be!

the cut outs on the rear lip is designed to fit the R/T exhaust, so depending
on whether your exhaust was ment for an srt or not, the exhaust cut
outs may not fit. test fit the bumper to see if everything lins up first. or
check the measurements between the two exhaust tips. i don't know the
exact measurements of both but i know the srt exhaust tips sit 6" further
away than the R/T tips.

Ya it's the magnaflow meant for the 2.0l what did you use to cut out the holes I'm guessing exacto knife.

I used a dremel to cut my cutouts.

Can't wait to see this kit installed.

dremel, or a rotozip. I like the roto cause it seems to be easier to controll. a 3" hole saw on a cordless drill works nicely too

I usually use the black autozone door edge guard stuff to cover the cutting edge, gives it a stock look....

A dremel works well, but you need some kind of sanding bit to clean it up once you are done. My dremel has one so I just go over it again to smooth the cutting edge.

finally it was nice enough today to finish I got the front bumper done yesterday did the back today the hardest part was I guess the rear bolts but i'd taken both bumpers off of my other neons.The instructions really suck honestly so vague I just used common sense and the posts on here.

I used a dremel on mine as well. And then took the sanding piece to soften the edges.

Lip kit looks great! How'd you do the cutouts on the rear bumper?

I actually used a bread knife I curved to get to about 1/4 an inch from the line then I used an hobby knife to finish it and then I used a dremel with a sanding tip to finish up and round it off.I then once I mounted it took my touch up pen with the brush and just did the inside of the lip.

I looks perfect actually I was very pleased (and scared at first) lol just didn't want to cut it wrong.

I'll post some more pics of the back tomorrow..

Thanks for the compliment the cars has came a long long way in the few months i've have it.
