no need to drill holes. simply unscrew old one off, and screw the new one on.

No. You do however have to get below the bumper and find all ten screws and two plugs, so get ready to get dirty (unless if you lift the car)...

Search for Techniques DIY and my thread. If your car is stock height you can use Rhino ramps (Autozone) to get under the car. You need to get under there to make sure the tabs are locked.

my dealer installed mine for $135...then did a hand wash with Meguiers products and even cleaned the windows in and out and vacuumed it. I was mighty suprised when I watched them wash it with the microfiber mitt and Meguiers Gold Class shampoo. I like my dealer!

I didnt trust the wash either...but the guy reassured me it was a hand wash with a clean microfiber mitt and new Meguiers soap and water. The guys who do the detailing there have been there since the lot opened.

Anyway...I let the dealer do the install...that way if anything was mesed up...it was covered. Plus they had done dozens before.

There should have been directions in the lip package....there was in mine anyway.

You do need to drill holes into the bumper in order for the lip to fit. If you refer to page 5 of the PDF instructions, you can see that you will need to drill holes.
