Vik, you're not going to DYI regarding the rear lip? Would you dare to attempt? If anyone is going to cut n drill holes in your bumper shouldn't it be you?

 

The clips on the fender? You have to turn them first then they will come out.

I refuse to drill into my car. I do not have the tools (air saw, drill bits etc.) nor the skill. The shop I am taking my car to drilled my car previously for the trunk lid spoiler.

 

I mean the clips holding the lip to the bumper.. all you do is twist it? WTF

 

I think he thought you were talking about the 2 clips on the fender liner. Those you have to turn 90 degrees and they'll pop out. But the clip right next to screw on the ends of the lip, I pryed the top so it will unlock then take the whole thing out.

But as requested, I'm going to post my pics here. At first I had the same problem with the small gaps in the corner but was solved with making sure all 8 tabs were locked in with a small pop sound. When everything was centered, secured, and gap free, peel the rest of the tape backing and apply firm pressure to make sure it sticks. Oh and make sure to clean the area with alcohol so it'll stick better. Sorry pics were taken after the rain let up.

Here's what the tabs look like when they are secured all the way in. (Yeah it's dirty)




End result

 

Hey Guys! I realize I'm a little late to the party, but on that front lip install...Mine didn't come with any tape. Is it needed and if so where does it go?

 

The tape is already on the lip. They are very small brown strips if I remember correctly.

 

hey vik sort off off-topic, but do you have blackhousing headlights or are those stock?

 

Stock. I try not to copy Javy too much

 

wow i am glad i found this Sewell sent me the wrong color front lip first..The right color one is on it's way...Thanks to you all now i know what to look for when i do the install..Also you can make a ramp by just nailing 2x8 piece's of wood..Just cut them so as you stack them up they stagger long enough so it's a more of a gradual incline...I had a 88 Isuzu truck that was dropped 2 1/2inches off the ground(At it lowest point)so NO Ramp would work, so i just made some...Yeah i scraped everywhere..

 

My question was where are they (the tape) supposed to be so when I buy some I know where to put it. Mine came without tape. Is tape needed?

 

^^^ tape should help close any small gaps but not absolutely necessary. I think the 9 screws hold the thing it place very well.

 

Then I can install with clips and screws then add tape later if neccessary? Still want to know where the tape goes.

 

Bumping an old thread, but i can't get the clips at the two ends off. Can some one give me tips to take them off? It's so frustrating having two clips stop me from taking this lip off.

 

Hrmm...If I remember correctly they are snap off clips. Are you sure you don't have a screw or two left in place?

 

If you end up drilling your front bumper with the gfx lip and then later down the road decide to go with another lip (wald, jp), do you foresee any problems? I am wondering if you would see the cuts/holes or if you would have to buy a new bumper cover first? Anyone know anything about this?
