Help gfx rear lip install!
Hi! just receieved my GFX rear lip and sides. I installed the sides today by myself (very simple i must say). But i am very scared to install the GFX as i dont want to mess up drilling.....
Are there any good installation videos/guides to read/watch? IF not, any members in Ohio know a good body shop i can take my car to and have them install this for me for a "decent" price?
Thanks!!!!

You don't need to drill the holes ..you can use 3m tape but if you are going to do so,I would suggest removing the bumper and completely cleaning the bumper first with water. And dish washing soap very well to remove any wax or oil residue, and mock it up and test fit it and use the adhesive promoter before the double side tape goes on
Is this a replica or oem gfx ..
Reason I ask if it's a replica you might have to do a little shaving and heating for a perfect fit just take your time
3m double side tape/ molding tape
3m adhesive promo or alcohol
Dish soap and take your time

Never gonna go wrong with 3M. I did my rear GFX and decided to drill mine. The only issue I had was that there was so much dirt and grime built up that it made it a little hard to see the OE marks for the pilot holes. Gotta be patient and take your time. I got aggravated with mine a couple times and had to "walk away" and then get back at it. Ended up fitting perfect and I love it.

Really don't have any tips for you bro. Just follow the directions that come with it and you will be fine. It is well made and the directions are very well written. I will look and see if I have any pics but only remember taking before and after, along with a pic of the car with the rear bumper cover removed.
