alright.. i'll take a picture tomorrow...

its the same rubber they use on the SIDE SKIRTS...

they dont touch the screws...

the fricken panel beater didnt even take my lip off... they repainted my front bumper with the lip on...

gave me excuse like... "nar those rubber are very messy.. so its better not to touch them... "

now that the lip is loose.... and the rubber is coming off too...

Do you mean that rubber seal running along the top of the skirt?

If its that one, then those are prity hard to take off cuz they use the 3M exterior mounting tapes. If you need to take it off your best bet it to use some strong fishing wire and use a sawing motion to take off the sticky part.

But if you do that you will be left with the left over sticky residue on your bumper. So you would need to clean that with some goo-remover.

Ive got the RunX front lip and it came with that seal already on the lip.

I heard from a few people who have bought aftermarket sideskirts that they got the seal from Toyota, so give them a call and see if they sell it.

Before putting the seal back on make sure that the bumper where the seal is making contact is sqeaky clean otherwise it wont stick on properly.
