DIY to install the 11' Fsport lip?
#17
@Dustin, yeah the pieces were pre painted. I was fortunate and bought the lip off of a forum member. At first us 2011 owners weren't quite sure if the lips could be installed, but after confirmation that there are cut outs imprinted on the backside of the bumper, it opened the door for all of us. I originally purchased the lip thinking that I was going to have to modify the lip, cut the tabs and 3m. And I think the previous member felt the same. Maybe that's why he sold them? But you can purchase these at the dealership...they'll tell u that it doesn't fit, but obviously just ignore them. These are meant to be replacement parts for the fsport bumper, not "add ons" for the regular bumper.

Rash it looks to be a 2011 Front Bumper. What makes these into a F Sport are the splitters that you see folks installing and these are the 2 parts that are attached to the corners of the lower part of the bumper hence not really a " lip ". The other part that makes a F Sport stand out if the inner mesh of an F Sport in the grill where it matches the lower half the bumper. Other than those two differences the F Sport bumper is the same as a normal 2011 front bumper.

I dont want to take the chance in doing this then the 3M method doesnt work as well then im left with 2 useless splitters ?? Others have drilled on their own which there is no way i'll do myself soo i'll end up dropping the car off at my bodyshop to get them installed. I think they're worth it since its a notable difference in the looks with and without these. Good luck
