Do it yourself.. I was in the same boat as you but then decided to do it myself. having a friend help you definitely helps out. Also another suggestion is use painter's tape (blue one) mask off your bumper and do a dry fit. You will see how easy it is. Just have to drill a few holes, line everything up and then remove tape insulation and install. Took me less than an hr.

 

Thanks for the link

 

Took my time, about 2.5 hours. Wife and daughter helped and it was a fun Sunday afternoon. Took the most time getting the templates jussst right. Check twice, drill once!

Looks awesome and fits like a surgical glove!

 

Glad it worked out, definitely don't want to be off on your marks when you're using a holesaw
Post some pics when you can, always a nice upgrade to the front end IMO.

 

Hope to post some this week!

 

Do you need to elevate car in order to install lip spoiler? I live in the city

 

Nope, you can do it with all 4 wheels on the ground.

 

Thanks for the reply will give it a go this weekend barring work schedule. Any gotcha or additional advice? Do I need to wipe the area with cleaning solvent etc?

 

I drove the front up on ramps --- much easier.

 

check, double check and triple check your work before the drill comes out. This is a job that the prep is 2/3 of the job. Check twice, drill once.

I used prep-all to wipe down the whole area that it covered, especially where the 3m tape would be sticking. Be ready, it is a tight fit and requires some spreading to get it on the existing bumper. Watch the rubber gasket and make sure it doesn't roll out or under, you will see in the instructions though.

Take your time cutting out the templates, you only get the 1 sheet and you can't download another like you can the instructions.

No real gotchas that I can think of, it's pretty straightforward, and the $150 for install is better kept in my pocket than the dealer.

Good luck!

Agreed 100%. I drove my car up on my rhino ramps for this :-)

 

I live in nyc, we use the side walk as ramps lol.

How safe are these ramps might invest in one and learn to do my own oil change.

 

Ramps are safe as long as they're quality ramps and you have a flat safe place to drive up on them. If you're lowered or plan on lowering your ride you might want to make your own from stacked lumber at a smaller angle. Most store ramps have an angle that's too steep for Gs lowered more than 1.5".
Just food for thought.

 

Thanks. Good suggestion but after thinking about how to do this with lumber, the end product will be too big and heavy to be practical for my situation. The width of the ramp, the length of the flat portion at the top and another piece of lumber at the end to indicate when to stop... I probably need a dolly just to move it from apt to out door garage which is two blocks away lol.

Back to lip spoiler install: I read some didn't bother drilling the hole and just use strong double sided tape like scotch 4607. What's your though on that?
