Front Lip Installation Guide

Front Lip Installation Guide

Step 1: Gather the Necessary Tools

  • Scissors: Used to cut 3M tape slices for easier application.
  • 1-inch wide 3M tape: Helps hold the front lip in place before securing it with screws.
  • Note: Two-person installation is recommended for safety and accuracy.

Step 2: Prepare & Plan

  • Assemble the Front Lip if it's 3 pieces: Use the provided screws to securely connect all three pieces of the front lip together.
  • Prepare the Bumper Clips: Locate the two self-tapping clips under the bumper and unclip them. - These clips will be reinserted later, but this time they will go through both the bumper and the front lip for a flush and secure fitment.
  • Test Fit the Front Lip: Hold the assembled front lip against the front bumper to determine the best alignment. 
  • Apply 3M Tape for Extra Security: Once you have an idea of the screw placement, apply 3M tape between those contact points on the front lip. 
  • Clean the Installation Area: Use a clean microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol or a mild cleaner to thoroughly clean the surface of the bumper where the front lip will be installed. 

Step 3: Align and Install

  • Hold the Front Lip in Position: Ask a friend or two to help hold the front lip against the bumper in the correct position. 
  • Secure with Screws: Using a drill or screwdriver, insert screws through the designated holes in the front lip and into the bumper. - Be sure to space out the screws evenly for a balanced and firm attachment.
  • Reinsert the Bumper Clips: The two bumper clips removed earlier must now be reinserted through the front lip and into the bumper. 
  • Press Along 3M Tape Areas: Firmly press along the areas where the 3M tape was applied. 

Final Inspection

  • Double-check that the front lip sits flush and securely attached to the bumper.
  • Press along all taped areas to ensure proper adhesion.
  • Inspect the screws and ensure they are properly tightened without over tightening, which could cause damage.

Post-Installation Guidelines

  • Do not wash the car or drive at high speeds for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
  • Periodically check the screws and tape to ensure the front lip remains secure over time.
