& Lets Get Ready To:
RhinoLip®!:
GoPro, GoLow,
....& EAT The Street!!.
You'll need the following:
1 - RhinoLip® Kit
1 - FRESH Sharpie,
1 - Screw-Driver
Maybe Some 1/2" Wide Blue-Tape
(To Outline Where to Position The RhinoLip For The Best Results!)
(To Outline Where to Position The RhinoLip For The Best Results!)
1 - Measuring Tape (Cloth, Ruler, Or Metal Retracting Type),
1 - Sheet-Metal Cutters Or Strong Scissors,
1 - Cordless Drill & 1/4" (6mm) or slightly smaller Drill bit.
1 - Hammer (It's Been Found Helpful "Seating" The Christmas-Tree Rivets Snugly)
Mark Your Mounting Points With A Sharpie!.
RhinoLip's Recommendation?: Mounting Points every 3.5 - 4" Spacing on The Straights.
***Note, Please!: If Your Car Is "Stanced", "Slammed", "Lowered", "Slow-&-Go", Or "Bagged"?:
You'll Need To DOUBLE The Mounting Points & Space Them Every 2" Using A Bolstering Method (Like Diebond strips, Metal Duct-Hanging Strap [with the holes in it], On The Mounting Points.
Why?, Well, On A RhinoLip?, The Weakest Link IS The "Mounting Points".
With Mounting Points Measured & Marked?,
Please NOTE How The RhinoLip MOUNTS Up Into Place.
Don't Worry!!, The RhinoLip Folds DOWN To A 45° Angle Once Fully "Installed".
A RhinoLip'er Suggested Hack & Mod: Creating a "Straight-Edge" on the Nylon-Washer.
This Straight-Edge Aligns With The 1st. Crease On The Mounting Strip, (The VIEW Is From Up Underneath)
This Keeps The Front Part Of The RhinoLip® That Is "Seen" From being "DIMPLED".
Ok, ONE MORE TIME: PLEASE REMEMBER How The RhinoLip® Mounts Up & To The Car.
RhinoLip's Recommendation? Alternate The Self-Tapping Screws & Nylon Washers In Combination With The Christmas-Tree Rivets.
RhinoLip'ers Recommendations?? Use ONLY The Christmas-Tree Rivets On Straight Middle Areas.
Use the Self-Tapping Screws On The Curves/Radius Areas On Either Ends.
It's Up To YOU: Just Pre-Think Everything: "Plan Your Work & Then Work Your Plan".
STARTING POINT: Middle Of The Bumper/Fascia Area & Middle Of The RhinoLip.
Work To Install ONE Side At A Time. Taking your Time & Doing It Carefully.
NOTICE: How To Start "Punching Holes". What You See Closest To The Installer?
Is the RhinoLip® Mounting Strip Area.
It's EASIER to Punch Holes As You Install Because??:
YOU'LL ABSOLUTELY NEED TO SLIGHTLY PULL & STRETCH THE RHINOLIP® OVER
TO THE NEXT MOUNTING POINT TO ENSURE A TIGHT & TAUT INSTALLATION.
So Punch The Holes As You Go Along, remembering to slightly STRETCH The RhinoLip To The Next Mounting Point. Using The Hole-Punch To Punch The Mounting Holes Exactly Where YOU Deem Them Needed & Necessary. Hole-Punch "Punched Hole" Circled In Yellow.
Like Previously Stated:
STARTING POINT: Middle Of The Bumper/Fascia Area & Middle Of The RhinoLip®.
Work To Install ONE Side At A Time. Taking your Time & Doing It Carefully.
***Use A Hammer To FIRMLY Seat The Christmas-Tree Rivets IN As SNUG As Possible***
(On This Car & for Demonstration Purposes? We Opted To Do ONLY The Middle Section)
Cut-Off The RhinoLip® Ends (Straight Or Angled) For A Keenly-Clean Finish.
Now Start On The Other Side As Carefully & Methodically As The Other Side Was Done.
Finishing Up With The Final Self-Tapping Screw or Push-Rivet.
Cut-Off The RhinoLip® Ends (Straight Or Angled) For A Keenly-Clean Finish.
Voila! Now The RhinoLip's Installed?
You Can Fully Finish Your "Not Your Mothers Ice-Tea" Favourite Beverage.
You Look Cool, You're Car Looks Cool....& Congratz & Kudo's On A Job Well Done!.
