Retard: I Need Help Installing My VRS Lip!

EOE90 · 12-10-2009, 02:46 PM

Ive been searching around, and the only answers I have been able to find as to how to install my front lip, is to use self tapping screws and drill the lip onto my front bumper. It came with a few screws, washers, nuts and epoxy, I guess I need to head to Home Depot to get some self tapping screws. How long does it take to install? How hard is tackling this? Im kind of worried as to how to perfectly install it if any one has any secrets or tips to give out... Thanks to whoever replies

I taped mine in the place I wanted it like so:

I used a small drill bit to drill pilot holes in my bumper (while lip was still taped on)

I used small stainless steel screws like so:

I srcrewed it in all the 7 spaces provided but it still felt a little loose in the widest areas of the lip (mine is the vrs poly lip so it is a bit more flexible than the CF) I pushed the wide section of the lip down just enough to get a small strip of the 3M black/red double stick tape on the lip. I did this towards the rear of the lip so the thickness of the tape didn't affect the fit of the lip.

Any questions??
