Awesome! That's great news after hearing about your issues with it. And you got it on perfectly, whereas mine has the gap on the left. I would definitely like to see more pictures later.

Hey, glad to be of help and to prove the rear lip can fit with no gaps and without drilling. It was fun installing your lip when it got dark! Your lip even came out better than mines lol. Where mines is 98% perfect, yours is a solid 99% perfect. I work for food btw. Me hungry.

After a day and being able to see it in the day light finally. There is a slight gap, and it isn't really a FITMENT issue. Its just I removed the THIN OEM layer of double sided tape on the top part of the lip since some of it was peeled off already when I received the lip. So now the tip of lip doesn't stick since i removed it -.-... but other than that its pretty darn close.





The little gap might look bad, but you can barely fit your nails in between.

but overall im more than satisfied :P the next time around I will be sure to stick a thin layer up top!

Anyone have any pictures of the actual installation process with the placement of the other tape with the factory 3m that is already on the bumper? My GFX arrives in a couple days and refuse to cut the bumper!

thanks to another CL member, I installed my gfx rear lip using the 3M tape since I didn't want to drill my bumper. I will post some pictures later. there are slight gaps, which you can't see unless you look for it.

since mines is a 2011, I also put on my front F Sport lip without drilling holes and taking off the bumper. can't believe I got all this done today.

for those of you who think you have to take off the bumper, you don't have to.

will update you all with some pictures when I can.. time to eat dinner. Aloha!

Can't wait to get mine on. I will probably do the cut/drill method for this one.
