Hey guys I just received my Seibon CW CF front lip its waiting for me at home! I need all and any advice on how-to install the front lip if anyone has done this already. I should be doing the install either today or tommorrow night! I have installed several front lips in the pasted just wanted to make sure everything bolted up perfect.

2008 nissan 350z
What I need im assuming?

3M Double-sided tape for the middle portion

Size nuts/screws for the side of the lip.

2 drilled holes on each corner? What size bit?

At work right now! I plan to stop by the store on the way back to get all materials neccessary for install,

All help is appreciated!

Here is a picture of the lip I got on another Z members ride looks amazing!!

 

when i had it i just did the 3m tape on the inside portion and put 1 screw on the inside of each corner and it held up just fine

 

Ok thanks for your input blackz123

Anyone else?

 

hey man i just put a seibon vs front lip on mine car last week it was a pain cause seibon cut it a bit small on the corners but i got it on my car and it looks clean...I would recommend screws in the corners.

 

its pretty easy you might need an extra hand though. there is 2 or 4 screws that just screw in underneath. i didnt use 3m tape on the one i had before. other than that you just have to flex and bend your front bumper so it fits inside. i recommend taking the front bumper completely off for it. its going to seem like its not going to fit and it will be short on the sides. dont worry keep bending and working and it will go in and fit perfectly.

 

Hey guys pretty upset today!

The shop ordered the wrong year seibon cw cf front lip.. there was no grove in the middle that sets the 06-08 bumper apart from the 03+ So I knew automatically it would not fit ( I even tried and it didnt match up I would have to really put pressure on it, so I refused), I took it back to the shop this morning so he can order me the right one. Aside from that i'm still awaiting my Turbo XS test pipes recently made by Turbo XS, that was also ordered and I was given the Vq35DE tp's instead of the Vq35HR tp's (flanges were different, everything else was the same!).

Sux Waiting since its already been 2 or 3 weeks that I ordered them! I hope he doesnt mess up this time!

 

I just had my brother go back to the shop to pick it up! I was worried that it was not going to fit.. although the shop stated is was 06-07 which is the same as 08. So I will try to put some force on it tonight to see if in-fact it works. Thanks for your input!

 

I drilled two in the middle and one each side by the tire so far so good looks great btw
people are always looking at it haha! and no tape

 

Just want to point out when you're flexing the lip to get onto the bumper, be VERY careful that you do not flex the lip too much. You can very easily crack the hell out of the lip if you force it on.

I think what the poster said above about taking the entire bumper off is sound advice. Your bumper will flex quite a bit more than the lip.

Be patient, take your time. You think you're pissed about getting the wrong one... think about how pissed you'll be when you hear that dreaded noise and see a bunch of spider cracks.

Best of luck.

 

I posted pics already but here are some more! Lip fitment was perfect. Took entire bumper off worked like a champ! thanks everyone!
