Questions about Evo-r VSV1 lip install
Any one who have this lip, maybe you can answer a few questions for me:
Anyway, I bought the lip about a month or so ago and just left it in my basement so the paint can some what "cure" before I have it Clear Bra'd. I want to get that done before mounting it on my front bumper. I haven't really looked at it since I received it until today. I see that it is pre-drilled for the 2 bolts on the bottom of both sides, my question is what do I do with the 4 little self tapping screws that came with it? Is it really necessary with the four bolts on bottom already holding it up + 3M double sided tape-I really prefer not to make any unnecessary holes in my bumper unless it is really needed. I didn't get very much 3M tape with it either, where did you guys apply the tape at? The lip didn't come with any instructions but it looks easy enough to do/figure it out myself but I just want to make sure before i start.
Thanks

You really only need to used (1) screw per side.I'd drill a small pilot hole in the lip before screwing into the wheel well lip.Paint those screw heads black to finish.
This lip,after you clean all sufaces with alcohol/apply tape,is a 30 minute job.
It will just pop into place.Good idead to jack up the front of your car about 6-8 inches to give you enough room to get at the 4 bolts under the car.
Good luck!

Thanks for the tips guys, I searched "install VSV1 lip" but didn't think of searching the "Mine's lip"-will do. So those screws are for the wheel wells-that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure before I go drilling.
About the Clear Bra, since the front portion of my car already have a clear bra on it, I thought I might as well do the lip also. That stuff is worth its weight in gold IMHO. I have a Nogaro Red '08 and there are some tiny white chips that pops up here and there where it isn't bra'd-drives me crazy. Also it makes it easy to wipe off the bugs and it don't stain the paint plus that area always looks shiny & clean with it.
