Default Lexon, Artisan Spirits, Toms, Novel lip kits

I am currently considering one of the kits offered by Lexon, Artisan Spirits, Toms or Novel (soon to be released). I was just wondering if any of you would know (especially the ones who have already installed them), if the kits require drilling into the body. I've been told that if they do require drilling, then I should be cautious as the parking and other sensors (for radar cruise) would potentially require recalibration as the wiring runs close to the bumper (which I find odd).

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and happy holidays!

Not sure of some other brands but a lot do not require drilling.

Lexon does not require drilling, Toms Racing may but its only into the plastic pieces so nothing into the metal where it'll mess with the wires.

Let us know if you have any questions and we can help you with information and pricing!

Tom's is all you need. Bolts into factory holes except the rear side splitters but those just require very minor drilling into plastic no biggie. Had my kit for 13 months it's great.

Thanks for your input. Did you the kit require you to add extra mounting points (new drilling holes aside from the OEM bolt locations on the underbody in front, back and sides)?
