Seibon VS Carbon Fiber Front Lip installing-Need Help
Hey guys i just finally got my front lip in today after a few months of waiting an thinking there woudl be hardware to install it but nope. Can anyone help or direct to somewhere, were there might be like a install pictures or something?? Would like to put it on my self i got a shop i can use to put it on, also the lips got no holes at all.
Just tried to fit it an it seems like it needs to go to the body shop to get put on the corners need to be rounded on the stock front bumper for the lip to fit around the wheel wells.

Hi,
I have the Seibon CW carbon Fiber Lip, and i have the same Question.
I did how ever get it to fit on with my bumper off the car. I think you need to squezz the sides in on the bumper then slide the lip on? it did fit, but had to take it off so i can have it clear bra installed.

If you look under each side of the front bumper near the wheel well there are 2 bolts that you use to mount the lip under the bumper (in your case your going to need to figure out and drill where the two holes are into the lip). For the middle just use double sided tape. As for fitment it's going to take a little bit of force. I mounted the center part first using double sided tape, then with a little bit of pulling I did each side using 2 bolt mounting points under the bumper. I'm at work but I can take a picture of it if you still need it later when I get back. I'll take it off and on so you can have a better idea where the holes go.
hope that helps.
edit: 2 bolts for each side. total 4 bolts and double sided tape in the middle.

Each side you need to use the 2 bolts that is already under the bumper. The fitment is really tight so it takes some energy mounting it on.
Under 2 bolts used to mount on each side.
Terrible pics I know, but I am still dealing with my Le Mans CF Spoiler install so these will have to do for now.

IzYou, Thanks for the pictures, that should help.
