Default who has installed the 09-10 GFX front lip without drilling

I'm really considering getting the 09-10 GFX from from sewell but very hesitant on the drilling part. Has anyone installed theirs with just tape and clips? If so, how long has it been and how are they holding up?

Thank you

I installed mine without drilling. In addition to the bolts, the lip attaches with 3 clips underneath each side and some 3M tape that doesn't stick too well. I also added some additional self tapping screws underneath near the clips.

Thanks for the offer josh but i'm in socal and the wald is a little out of my budget. My mind's pretty set on the GFX lip too.

For my peace of mind, I drilled my bumper though, two holes on each side. There are drill indication marks located on the inside of bumper shell. That's all.
