Thumbs up Cup Lip Reattachment & Cargraphic Bumper Screens Installed; Write Up & Pics

A little Spring cleaning if you will

My Cup lip was sagging a little and I could see some grit was embedded between the lip and the bumper so I decided to pull it, clean it, and reattach with fresh tape.
  • I used a heat gun and a plastic putty knife to aid in the removal of the tape.
  • I did the first pass of cleaning with a wet MF towel and a standard degreaser
  • For polishing I used Poor Boys SSR2 and a White pad

























Cargraphic Screens
  • purchased from Automotion; they are the Cargraphic screens - link Use a coupon code to save some cash! )
  • I used a 3/16 nit to drill the holes for the zip tie pass throughs
  • I did not use any of the included Wurth sealant
  • Make sure the screens are flush against the plastic intake surrounds before tightening down the zip ties
  • They are pretty much invisible unless you are really looking for them

Excellent write up and pics (and clean car ) as always.

But now that you saw the "parts" and did the installation doesn't it make more sense to buy the mess from the local hardware store..

Well, thanks for the offer, and calling my bluff, but I'll have to pass. My alignment is a bit too aggressive for a 3,000 mile round trip

That looks great, and I sincerely appreciate this DIY post!

I used mesh acquired from Home Depot a few years back, but those Cargraphics screens look factory new... Nice work.

This thread gave me the inspiration to take off my bumper, re-do the Cup lip, and clean the radiator..

I feel now I know my car more now.. ha! The front bumper is not hard to remove... !!
