Default TTE lip owners - quick question

i picked up a TTE lip spoiler on Ebay and was wondering what type of screws came with the lip originally. I mainly need to know if they were plastic or metal and if anyone knows where I can pick some up. Thanks a bunch

Gawd...What up? Congrats on finding a TTE front lip on Ebay I looked there for weeks before buying one from a member here. Anyway I just got mine installed 2 days ago and yeah I did it by myself. Anyway there should be 5 self tapping metal screws....(2 that are .5 inches and three that are about 1.25 inches)....I also used 2 more to be sure it was on tight....

Hey guys,

Thanks, it looks very straight forward, just wanted to make sure before I put holes in my bumper

Thanks for the details speedie, I'm going to put it on Friday and see how it looks. Hopefully nothing will fall off in the Texas sun and humidity

Yeah, I kinda lucked out on this one. It was pretty much under the radar with no gallery picture and the seller didn't really know what he was selling. He just listed it as a lexus spoiler, prepainted and shipped to my door was 103.10

First and probably last one I've seen on Ebay in 4 yrs......
