Default Installing the Nismo front lip?

Is it difficult? Has anyone done it themselves? Or should I leave it to the body shop to do this? Thanks.


Ed.

should be a 30 minute job max, tapping a few holes, a few screws, and maybe some tape

I answered on another forum but for the others:

It is not hard but it does take patience. The templates that come with it are not the best and ot takes patience setting them up, you need to trial fit as much as you can before drilling becuase you have to drill 6 huge holes on the bumper. It requires two more on the inside of the fender and 4-6 more on the bottom of the grill but I skipped those the 6 fasterners in front hold it in pretty well.

It's not that hard but you should schedule at least 4 hrs if you have the proper tools. You'll need a rivet tool and a 90 degree drill, lol. I just took the front bumper off instead. I'd say go for it.

Hey, its not hard, it took me about 30 min to get it on, at first i was a little scares because i didnt want to mess anything up, but after i started to install it, everything fel into place, i also figured out REALLY fast that its much easier to take the front bumper off to install the lip, im only 18 years old and if i can do it im sure you can
