Default CF lip install

Quick question about the install.

Is 3M tape strong enough to hold the entire front lip on? I was told to drill the sides in the wheel well but i'm afriad of the CF splintering.

Thanks in advance

If you want to drill CF, start with a very small bit and work your way up in size. You will get much better results then going right for whatever size hole you need.

Drill two holes on the sides (it matches up under the car) and double sided tape the middle. That's how i did mine.
