Default How to install Replica Front Lip?

hey guys. just wondering if anyone can tell me how to install this lip.

it has no hardware and will need to be drilled.

so what kind of hardware do i need? (home depot)

and i want to use double sided tape as safety measure. whats a good type that wont kill my paint if i need to remove it.

im already going to use some weather stripping to cover the tiny 1mm gaps near the edges.

and some procedures on install is needed as well... thanks

thanks.

ps. this is the lip.*just not from advertised seller...*

Return it for an OEM one - problem solved.

I truly have no idea why people buy these knock off products.

I believe, all you need are self tapping screws (pointed ones). It's really as simple as getting an electric screw driver and screwing it in your plastic bumper.

eh i would at least do it right with non tapping screw hardware personally.

and I can understand why some people buy knock offs sometime, half of the knock off's fit better then the authentic peices.

After market replica lips are the future of every lip produced. Look at the amuse lip, the real one is what 6-700 dollars? the replica is less than 200 shipped...

Jus an FYI, the one you posted isn't even an OEM replica. OEM doesn't look like that (i.e.: it doesn't have that part that sticks out on the ends).

Sorry, my mistake. For some reason, I thought the initial post stated it was an OEM lip.
