installing front lip

Is there a DIY for installing a front lip. I got a painted lip from Autokits X and there is no instructions with it.

I didn't get any hardware either except for double sided tape !!!!!!

Not sure how others experience is with this company but the paint job is horrible, couple of scratches and no response from Alex with this company.

I sent you an e_mail so, if you have something to tell me do it over e_mail.

DIY for installing a front lip?
install the lip, peel the red tab on the 3M double side tape, attach it with the bumper and put 2 screws or rivets on each side (around the fender).

Alex,

Thanks for the response. I did send couple of emails and didn't hear from you for a while so I thought I could get some help here.

My only issue was with the paint job which you said got it done through someone else but otherwise the lip is fine and will try to install it soon.


thanks

If you have some ramps drive it up on that to install. Makes it so much easier. You can get Ryno ramps for 30 bucks at most auto stores.

work on one fender first and work your way to the other. The AK-X lip practically "snaps" into place.

peel the edges of all the red tape and tape it the outside so that it sticks out. Then when you're done positioning the lip in place, peel away slowly and press firmly.

Did you do any test fitments beforehand or just get it painted? How is the fitment?

Thanks!
