Anyone installed the M performance lip themselves? Tips please!!

retiredmarine · 08-13-2014, 07:22 AM

Getting ready to install the M performance splitter/lip on my own this week. I got the OEM, and I have the PDF file for guidance. Seems pretty straight forward, and from what I've read, I'm not going to use the betalink, just the tape. Anyone done this that can offer me some tips or advice? Thank you!!

I only uses the 3m tape, it works regardless. Some part require drilling, but places are mostly hidden and would not affect the look if you decide to take it off

I only used the double sided tape. youll need the plastic rivet tool, and a drill with a 6mm bit. however, does the pdf you have show two or 3 screws getting installed in the center post of the lip? i installed the two rear screws with the plastic bar, and the front of the center post has a slight gap between the bumper and the front of the center post. what about you pups?
