The top fender lip you are refering to is not part of the fender, but a small bonded on piece. It is about 12 inches long and L shaped, bonded to the inside upper opening of the grill hole. It had 2 small holes in it with clips slid over the holes. With a little patience and a piece of thin aluminun angle iron you could shape it and use a good bonding adhesive from 3M and attach it and really nobody would know! Thad
