Which body kit front lip does not require drilling?
Hey, I was wondering does the oem GFX front air dam require any drilling for the install? I was hoping to put it in myself but was hoping to find a kit that can just replace and bolt right from the oem parts. Thanks

Nope, the OEM GFX front air dam doesn't require any drilling at all. Funny thing is the tab that holds the bolt is actually attached by double sided tape.... you just snap off the bolt tabs and that it. The lip is held in by 2 push pins and 9 bolts so its not going anywhere. I installed mine and my friends, it's very easy.

I only installed the front lip, no experience with the rest of the kit. From what I've read on this forum, the side skirts are just direct bolt on swaps and I'm pretty sure the rear bumper lip needs holes drilled.

I was thinking about other kits but the oem one is the only one I think comes pre-painted. And that's almost a guarantee a paint match and no worries from if a shop could match the paint. So, from the oem kit ... only the rear lip and spoiler needs retrofitting/drilling? Thanks

The OEM front lip also looks the nicest IMO 
. The trunk spoiler doesn't need to be drilled. Alot of people on here just beefed it up with more double sided tape. Only issue is it's a pain to align perfectly since your just sticking it on with no guide lines. I believe the rear lip is the only thing that you must drill.
