Default Front lower spoiler: Dealer install or DYI?

Looks like pain in the **** to install, would you have a dealer do it or is this an easy DYI?

I had my dealer do it and I am glad I did. He let me watch most of it and he had to actual use a dremel to perfect some holes that the kit need to fit into. He also spent a lot of time getting it perfectly even and lined up since he knew how picky I am. If your dealer will cut you a deal, do it there. Good Luck.

Are you talking about the OEM front lip that is taken off and placed in the trunk because trailers can't get the car off the trailer with enough clearance or the X-package/GFX front lip?

The OEM one should be installed by the dealer upon delivery.

The install of the GFX front lip isn't that bad. Yes you have to drill some holes but they are pre-marked already.
