Default Seibon Carbon Front Lip

http://www.bodykits.com/249/261/282/...P-p-23492.html

Can someone please tell me how such a lip would install. Is it just with the screws that the stock chin spoiler were attached to or not? And if anyone has this particular piece, please let me know.

Sorry if its a repost.

Hi, I have the Seibon CF CW lip, It installs with screws on the inside of fender well were the lip wraps around. But youll want to use Black 3M automotive tape to secure the front part of the lip at the grill area. When i installed mine i went couple step more to install. I made some alumn, brackets to secure the underside of the lip to the bolts under the front bumber. I made about 4 of them. And im glad i did, because a peace of metal on the fwy hit my CF lip and split it under neath the brakets helped hold it together tell i was able to repair the damage.

Note, when you install it, take the bumber off and you can flex the bumber to fit the Lip on.

thanks...this may sound noob-like, but how hard is it to take the bumper off?

I would have a body shop do your install if you don't know how to take off your bumper. This isn't really a DIY as minor adjustments or shaving may be needed.

its not that i cant do it...i just didnt know what is involved. it says it mounts at factory points...so i will try my best. and the body shop can always bail me out if needed. ill have someone help me and i got all the resources (research and tools) necessary.

if anyone would like to go throw their install, they should feel free to do so as it would be greatly appreciated.
