Default Front Lip Install Help

Hey guys, I know I have an ES, but thought you guys could help me out best!


I purchased a front lip for my ES300. It is the OEM/JDM design, but an aftermarket replica. All it came with was 4 nuts/screws. I was wondering what method you guys would recommend for installing this piece. Some type of Sealer/glue, Screws, etc.!?

This pieces wraps around the front bumper just a bit, it doesn't simply hang from the underside like some of your lips, however it does wrap around the wheel well slighly.

Thanks


EDIT:

This is essentially the front lip, I have an extreme dimensions one however.



Sounds like 3M tape is pretty popular with lips?

if you really want, you can get the thin 3M, and run it about 1/4" lower than the top of the lip for extra security and 'seal' on top of actual hardware

Good idea!


I want it to look as OEM as possible. I thought about getting rubber striping to seal the edges like you see on Toyota Camry SE models, but thought it'd be difficult.

That's an awkard pic, on a white one --It actually adds a real nice stance to the ES. It's our only option compared to the GS family
