lexon front lip question
My lexon front lip arrived today,i was expecting there would be screws with the kit but there was'nt, so my question is,do i need to buy small screws for the install or there will be screws underneath the bumper so i will just unscrew them and install the lexon lip?
TIA
TIA
With mine I had to get new bolts and made new holes to screw into the bumper.

+1 on what Josh and Tran said. Mine came with a bag of nuts/bolts & washers (see pics in my thread here). I think they provided 6 of them and the two outer edges/corners used the stock screws from under-panel (just before the front wheels).
Curious, where did you buy from if you don't mind me asking? Did you get the little Lexon badge/emblem that goes in the recessed area in the middle of the lip or was that missing too?

I was trying to find the paperwork that came with mine to see if it listed the size/specs of the nuts/bolts & washers provided but couldn't find it. If anyone else happens to know what the OE Lexon lip uses/requires I was thinking about purchasing extra just in case down the road the originals rust or need to be replaced.

lol Again, in the end as long as you're pleased with what you got for what you paid that's all that really matters. This is certainly a good thread for reference for anyone else interested.

Can anybody verify the size screws they used and how many? I just got in my Lexon Replica lip off ebay and it also has no screws...Would like to see how some of you guys mounted it up. IF you have any pics that would be greatly appreciated. From what I can tell the replica piece seems to be pretty well constructed....Thanks in advance
I just mounted mine a couple days ago. I bought self tapping screws and used large washers for extra surface area of support, but on the two edges it uses the factory bolts (your replica probably isn't predrilled), so use those and then throughout the rest of the lip I drilled holes evenly spaced and used the self tapping screws and washers for those. I drilled a total of 10 screws, and I also used double sided tape as well. My brother had a CF lip that flew off on the freeway and he ran it over and shattered it into a million pieces lol, so if you care about the lip, screw it as much as possible. A new bumper is literally like $300, but a new lip is about double the cost. Also, on the two little center fin/stubs that pop out, on the lip, I also used double sided tape there and drilled a hole into each of the two to secure it there as well, as the center section doesn't have any other place to secure it with screws besides those two stubs

Could any of you guys who have installed the replica one post some pics showing how you mounted it up. I want to see where and how you placed the screws. I plan on having mine sprayed in a matte black by a bodyshop and then have them install it. Im assuming any good body shop can put this on. I do want to use screws along with some 3m tape in well placed areas but again would like to see some installed pics first. My biggest concern is that I do not want this thing flying off at highway speeds or above ....Thanks in advance for any help

I then drilled hole to mate with the bumper 8 of them for a total of 10 (may be over kill, but it works)
Then align with the bumper and you will mark and drill a holes through your poly bumper in the exact spots.
The two end holes will line up with the OE bumper holes, and the rest will need bolts, washers and nuts.
No 3M tape will be needed, unless you don't want to drill the OE bumper.
It is best to remove the bumper to do this for correct fitment.
I took some pictures of an old replica I have that was destroyed by a truck tire - it should give you ideas on how to do this
