How hard was the install? Screws or tape?

If you want the lip to stay on you need to use self tapping screws.

install is super easy, you use the factory screws that you undo from the bottom of the bumper and they also provide support screws for which they also pre-drilled. No tape. I just had a little problem lining it up to be even on both sides and also the lining of the holes. Took some time but got it down. Overall, easy!

mine took about 6 weeks and I ordered it in april when they didnt have as many orders. Also i thinj the hydro dipping takes a bit longer but itll be worth it!

Nice front splitter!!! I order the full kit 2 weeks ago so I'm hopeful that it won't take as long as other orders mentioned in this post. Kevin @ NIA says 3-4 weeks so fingers crossed.

Any reason why you went with only the front splitter and not the full kit?

Also, are you running stock suspension? Looks very nicely seated, nice stance.

Thanks! The front splitter is so subtle that it flows with the factory lines of the car. I feel like the side skirts and the rear splitters just stick out too much. I prefer a more clean, flowing look

Im lowered on tanabe springs and also have spacers installed. It makes for a very nice stance
