Evo-R/Mines CF Front Lip Installed W/ Pics
Finally got around to installing my new evo-r/mines front lip.
Everything went pretty smooth and the lip was a perfect fit. Nice and snug with no play or gaps.
The hardest part for me was getting the two bottom holes on each side to line up with the bumper, but with a little bit of playing around i was able to get them in good.
As for the self taping screws most people only use one which im sure is fine but i went ahead and went with two on each side as it wouldnt hurt. I also purchased some extra 3m auto tape so i would have enough to do more than just the center piece.
One great trick i saw on a video online was to leave part of the 3m tape backing exposed, allowing you to fit the lip way easier without having to worry about it sticking down in the wrong spot. Then once everything is all perfect you can pull the tape backing last and press the lip down to secure it. Worked perfectly for me.
Here are some pics during the install. Scroll all the way down for the final pics once installed. Enjoy!
Also i have been getting alot of questions about where to find this lip. I purchased mine from "westerncustomz" on ebay. I beleive he has both the 03 and 06 versions for sale. Im not positive but im assuming this is prob just another new name evo-r is using for ebay. Regardless of all the bad stuff ive heard about him (assuming this is even him selling them) I must say I received my lip extremely fast (5 days) and it was in perfect condition and just as described with no problems at all.
And Some Final Shots after the install,

Thanks, and yea at first while test fitting I was like there's no way this is going to fit. But another member had mentioned that it would seem this way and in the end it lead to one of the most seamless lips I've ever seen on a 350

Pro job!
Great install!
Looks like it came on the car or,should have!
You are right,It'll take some getting used to with a lower ground
clearance in the front and,a bit more length to the car.If you are
like most of us,we park in the "usual" spots.Just have to back it up a
extra foot.Watch the sides too.
Excellent job my man!

Yea I'm not too worried about it fading or anything like that. Just have a feeling I will end up catching/scraping it on a steep entrence or something. And don't worry nobody ever drives the Z but me, no matter how much they beg lol

Yea my cars stock height so it's not too crazy. Props to the lowered people with lips I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to do that. At least where I live. And yea I'm sure ill get used to some light scrapes here and there but I know the first time I hear it I'm gonna cringe a little haha
