BlackTop CF V-Style Lip on PB
Got this yesterday from ravspec and since td66 said it was easy to install i decided to do mine today.
In my case, it took me about 40 minutes just because the 2 brackets didnt quite align to the stock mounting points so a bit of "positioning" was involved. i also reused the stock bolts because i noticed the washers attached to the bolts were larger in diameter than the 2 bronze bolts that came with the lip. I also didnt drill holes on the 2 bottom corner of the bumper so these pictures are WITHOUT screws in them. so yes the only thing holding this lip are the 2 bolts on the front and the 2 double sided adhesive tape on the sides.

I think that's what the OEM lip should have looked like but they rushed it.

To the OP, did you have the aero front lip?
Do I have to remove the front bumper to replace it?
Thanks.

no aero for me.
You dont need to remove the front bumper to install the blacktop cf lip BUT you do need to remove your front bumper to remove your OEM aero lip just like the diagram that i showed you.
