Hopefully your front lip fits better than mine. I had a 2" gap on the drivers side. There was no way double sided tape would hold that.

Very serious. They told me it would fit better if I tried to install it with the bumper off. It didn't. The fit was the same. I used Norton SpeedGrip and 6 clamps.

Check the link to my build thread in my sig for pictures.

kinda worries about the front and the rear lip. The rear need to be partial paint before the install. How much does it cost to paint 2 sides of the rear lip? Any idea? Thanks a lot guys!!

Yeah, make sure you clean any area that will touch the double sided tape well before applying the promotor, then apply the promotor to that same area. You'll need a few packets of it for everything you’ll be installing. Id grab 10 or so just to be safe. You'll also want to test fit the pieces well before applying anything, cause once you use the promotor its near impossible to remove the pieces. I had alot of trouble installing my rear spats simply because of the flex in the bumper. Id suggest taking the whole rear bumper off to install the diffuser. It makes the whole process a lot easier. I’ll post a pic of what I did. As far as paint, id suggest painting the whole thing first, that’s what I did and it turned out fine.

I have the same carbon signal lip and had heard about gap issues as well, however I had mine professional molded to the front bumper. That said I wasn’t made aware of any fitment issues.

Here's a pic. I used two saw horses and c clamps to hold it while the spats set.

I doubt home depot would have it. I also doubt autozone or a similar store would have it. Your best bet would be an automotive paint and supply specialty store. I think amazon has it as well. Like i said, if you need some let me know, there is a place not far from me that has it and i can grab it for you and put it in the mail tomorrow. They typically cost $3-$3.50 a packet.
