I havent checked yet, but the 2010 IS's front bumper is one piece....there might not be any screws on the bottom? I'll check my car tomorrow.

I was reading all these threads and stressing out before I put mine on. Wondering if I should drill, or buy more tape "just to make sure".

All said and done, there's nothing to it:
Unscrew old, screw in new. I just used the little tiny piece of 3m that came with the lip. It's perfectly fine and tight for 6 months..

*The OEM tape strip was so small that I went for a week thinking they forgot to include it with my gfx.

Can i buy your front lip of your car if you decide to get a new car? Or is there anyway you can get me one for similar price on the 09-10 lip for my 1g1 tungsten pearl is350? Im local ... My Dealer is asking way to much. Online is no better.

thanks

Luckily I did not paint the front lip yet, today while testing the fitment with the guy at the body shop we discovered that it does not fit onto the 09'-10' models even though its the X package lip. I was super excited about putting it on too, boo!
