I have a MY15 Lux which unfortunately did not have an option to add the lip package at the time. Through months of research on eBay, Facebook, etc..I finally acquired a set of used front and rear lips with mounting hardware. Little did I know, you have to drill into the front and rear bumper for this install. So this is where things get a little tricky. I am thinking about doing the playdoh or double sided tape trick on the 1st dry fit test then drilling. The next issue is the center mounting area of the underside, would someone with the lip installed take photo's for me underneath where the lip attaches to the bumper? I'll take photo's later today to explain the differences, the photo below is for reference of a bumper that is pre drilled for the front lip.

 

So glad someone is doing this! Been on my wishlist since i bought the car!

Have you tried this thread. One person for sure has done it.

I remember seeing a template used as a guide to drill the holes for the lip. For the trim pieces, i would just double side tape them.

 

If you can find that, it would be great!

 

Before

 

Tabs in back of lip

Tabs on back of lip, if buying used, make sure tabs are there. A couple was broken or missing from mine from previous owner

 

Magic marker the drill area and angle. Drill about 3/4 inch from last magic marker mark, one area was 1 inch

 

Example drill area front driver side

 

Example front middle

 

Example front passenger side

 

Lip installed, total time was about an hr

Needed a beer and sake afterwards

 

The installation was fairly straight forward. I would suggest at least two people or having something to prop the front lip up so you can bolt the screws first. Trying to list the steps I did below while it's fresh in my mind

1. Use magic marker to mark all the tabs on the front lip
2. Measure the distance from the screw to top, I think there was only 2 area's that had 1 inch and the rest was about 3/4inch.
3. There should be two metal brackets on each side of the lip, there should be existing 10mm screws on the bottom to unscrew. Loosen those scews and attach your front lip. Make sure there's support to the front middle of the lip.
4. After installing the front lip with support, you can use masking/painters tape to hold it up or with the assistance of another person, hold the lip and mark the area to the bumper with the magic marker since you will measure the depth on the last contact point after lip is removed.
5. Once all areas of tabs are marked on the front bumper, unscrew the two side 10mm bolts and drop the front lip.
6. I forgot what drill bit size but make sure it's a size or two larger than the screw, proceed to drill with measurements depths
7. After drilling, there are two side screws that goes into the bumper, install these first then the two 10mm bolts on the bottom
8. After the side bolts and 2 bottom 10mm bolts are installed, I screwed one bolt in the front middle to have support so I can install the rest easier.
9. After middle bolt, you can install the remaining bolts, the trick is to push the bolt in all the way and use a small 1/4 drive with a 10mm socket to install the bolts. The side bolts are a bit tough to get into since you have to "Crouching Tiger" your hands to bolt in


I'll be installing the rear bumper lip soon. Any questions, don't hesitate to post here

 

to each their own. it separates us apart, but I am not a fan of it. looks like you did a good job on the install

 

Did you have to remove the old small spoiler?

 

Yes, I didn't want to drill into the old spoiler
