Default Greddy Front Lip & Roof Spoiler Installation Process HELP!!

I gave my lip to my repair man at the shop and he needed to know how does the lip fit on there, does it just stick on with adhesive or bolt on?? Also how does the roof spoiler go on the rear windsheild?? It would be helpful if i could get some posts with pics if possilbe. Car is at the shop now and results would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

The GReddy lip simply wraps around the lower front bumper. The center of the lip has inserts that will hold the slits of the front bumper, and then you will need to screw in the lip on the sides, inside the front wheel well. I told the bodyshop to use better nuts and bolts rather than the small and weak screws that came with the lip.

Every different roof spoiler has its own installation methods. Some are attached to the edge of the roof, while others are attached on the top of the rear glass. But most of them are held in place by tape or other adhesive. Just use some strong 3M tape and stick it on.

Hope this helps.

Your awesome, thanks for your help, it seemed that the lip was a little tighter than it should have been. It seems like it wont fit but i guess it does somehow.

I will look in to it more and update this page if needed.

thanks

no problem.

The lip seems tighter than it should've been, probably because it was designed for Japanese Aristos, which has a slightly shorter front bumper (only US spec cars have the 5mph bumper inside). But the lip is urethane, so it can take some stretching.

I told him to first put on the middle somehow, then try to stretch it on the sides and bolt the screws in front of the front tires on the fender.

Did I tell him right??
