the wheel well corner on the drivers side is not secured properly, i think a little tape will do the trick, but what kind did stillen use on the kit?

on a related note; what do you guys suggest as an adhesive pad to protect the bottom of the front lip if it scrapes.

Go to autozone and buy 3m side double tape.

I'd recommend using hardware instead of double sided tape to secure the edge to the wheel well.

i just ordered some double sided adhesive foam tape from 3-M, it looks like the same stuff that came with the kit from stillen.

ill let you guys know how it goes. The smallest order was for 3 yards of tape so if you guys want any let me know...

I used to use 3M double sided tapes for everything. Those things are hella strong. I once used it to mount fog lights to bumper with no screws and stayed no problem. On my lip kit... I used the 3m that came with the lip plus screws by the wheels just in case.
