The front lip has been on for a week now!!! Just unbolted the old lip and installed with no drilling. Be sure the clips "click" and you shouldn't have gaps. You need to push hard. Thanks again Sewell.

got my rear GFX on today, but I noticed that there was a gap because one part of the oem tape didn't stick. I think the OEM tape on it was old. Need to take it back to the Lexus Service to get it fixed Tuesday. Until then its driving me nuts.
installed the front lip myself with the no drill method, but it looks like the tape is coming loose on it too. Anyone else seeing that? I think I need to purchase some new double sided tape and redo it. Is the 3M body molding tape the correct tape to use? Thanks.

So on Friday my day went like this:
... I was eagerly waiting for my side skirts to arrive, checking fedex website frequently
... Finally got confirmation that the package arrived. Called my bro to verify and yes, the box had arrived !!!
... Was counting down the hours before I can leave work, drove back home, looked at the package, and noticed it looked very similar to one I had seen before.
... Opened the package and found out... It was the front lip!!!!
No wonder it looked familiar.
Now i'm debating whether I should go through the hassle of exchanging it and hoping that they still have a pair of the side skirts.
Maybe I'll try to find someone that will trade me for the rear spoiler!

ouch, that sucks lexudv...
I installed my front lip about an hour ago and it was pretty easy. I didn't lift my car (dropped too low to use ramps, but now I can return them). I just felt around for the bolts, used the cardboard to lie down in the parking lot, took out the screws/bolts, popped off the old lip, cleaned it up a little, popped on the new lip (right side seemed harder to get it to pop in), and screwed it back in. I didn't drill into the bumper, it didn't seem necessary. It seemed easier than the sides with those blasted clips, lol.
Next up is the rear, probably next weekend... I'll probably cut into the bumper for that.
