i finally put the new lip on and just like everybody said the sh!t does'nt perfectly fit. i had to bend the ends a little. its kinda hard to do especially if your working by yourself but it fits. no extra holes to drill. the only thing i hate is the two bottom ends kinda flares out, but its still ok, coz i just got the lip from ebay.

anyway i went to pepboys and bought some spraypaint and the guy recommended for me to get the Varsity fast drying primer and he said i dont have to sand the lip if i use this primer(on the can it said, non-sanding..fights rust..recoat
anytime..wood/metal..interior/exterior) and i tried it on my old stock lip that i took off, primed it twice and spray painted it twice. its dry already and i tried rubbing it with my fingers and the paint stays (the color looks nice by the way) but when i tried rubbing it with my finger nails the sh!t comes off, so im assuming that i really have to sand it first before i paint it. oh yeah the spray paint that i got is Plasti-kote import color it looks like the color of my car.

so, my question is what/which kind of sand paper do you guys recommend and what grit of course and do i have to spray paint with a clear coat after for added protection?

sorry for the long post but im starting tomorrow morning. thanks boys and girls.
