Default cf lip

my carbon fiber lip will be here in 3 days, im kinda scared cuz ive heard of how a lot of them dont fit very well. anybody on here have one besides RevTechSi[i think thats his name?] and if it didnt fit, is there a way to make it fit w/o cracking/breaking it?

i dont know about CF lips.. im sure its the same thing, but when I worked at a shop in FL some kits had to be left in the sun for a day or two and/or heated with a heatgun to wrap PERFECTLY around edges..

If you go over the heat deflection temperature of the resin, it will turn plastic and be slightly formable.. You can really easily change the physical properties of the resin at the same time, and make the resin weak... Be careful..
