I don't think I'd trust just the tape, the front lip does tend to rub sometimes if you hit a steep driveway (coming or going) or bad judgement on one of those parking space stoppers. All the bottom holes aren't noticeable if you ever remove it, only the ones on the fender wells are something that would show if you ever remove it. I'd strongly recommend drilling and bolting it up.

 

I just used the tape and installed it by myself. Very easy and is holding up great

 

Thanks will try double side tape first and it post a problem will do permanent route. Hope it don't fall off on highway lol.

 

Oh man, just do it the right way the first time

 

Did a dry fit this morning, yeah I can see why others recommended the permanent route. I also can't see how you able to drill the necessary holes without raising the car. I can't get drill underneath car .

 

In no way shape or form would I recommend just that thin 3m tape. There are pushpin clips on the bottom that need holes drilled, one hole drilled on each side in front of the wheel
also.

Please check post #24 in this thread!

 

Anybody have a pic of their G with the lip installed? I have a non-Sport model and curious what the final product can look like on the car.

 

 

install it yet ? in for updates & pics

 

After looking around, am I mistaken but is this the ONLY option for a lip/splitter for a non-sport G37?

 

I recently got back into a G37xS after 3 years counting down the time until my VW CC lease was up.

Today I installed the chin splitter and it completely changed the front end look of the car. Installation was a snap, although I opted to drill everything except the bolt by the wheel well as it would show a hole should I ever need/ want to take it off. About an hour including cutting out the templates. Very happy with the new look and as soon as I'm able to upload I will post the before and after photos. Too newbie I guess.

 

I also installed the OEM front chin spoiler on my 2010 Sport recently.

The installation was very easy. No need to follow the instruction or use the template the came with it.

1. Wash and clean front bumper
2. Remove two stock bolts (under front bumper, right in front of the tires)
3. Clamp that sexy front chin on, make sure everything is snug
4. Install the two stock bolts back on in step 2.

At this point, the lip is already very tight. But for peace of mind:

5. Drill 4 holes under stock bumper and put on the plastic clips

I skip the double sided tape, and the 2 holes I have to drill on each side of the bumper. Because those would have caused visible damage to my bumper.

 

I agree on not needing the templates. The chin sits very snug and with the four bolts along the bottom drilled with the chin in place made it very easy. I did pull the tape as it just closed the little gap I had on the drivers side where the 2 bolts would have gone. I do not think it would have been noticeable by anyone but me. Great fit and a very nice edition to the car.
