Tks Carlitos no worries...I have the eBay seller currently on my watch list.

Just need those measurements before I can pull the trigger in earnest :)

Hahah! Sorry! I have had finals due this week & a ton of stuff to do at work. I don't even think I have eaten today yet.

I will be putting it on probably tomorrow and will do measurements then!

Removed the black plasti-dip from the fangs: Lasted 2 years! Had about 8 coats though..

Installation was fairly simple,
1) We test fitted the lip
2) Drilled 2 screws into the far corners where they attach to the wheel well.
3) The left side was flush and perfect, didnt require much heat
4) The front was great and was flush with the fang area, minor heat and application
5) The right was pretty bad and needed some heat and patience. Basically we heated the lip til' it was soft and used a metal ruler with a cork backing and held the cork to the lip and then used a cold/damp rag to let it mold into place.
6) Once the top was flush, we then jacked the car up and went under to attach the 3 support brackets.
7) I used the 3M tape at first, but then once the lip was on, barely any of the lip needed the 3M and it really just was visible thru the cracks, so I removed the 3M tape completely.
8) Done!

Dont mind bucky - (The huge *** bolt on the front) I lost one of the screws for the brackets, and drilled my own. Smallest bolt and nut I had.. Thankfully I painted over it. I will switch it out later!

Next up was sanding the rear bumper. I loved the black FRP material color. But it had imperfections.

I wanted a perfect paint job and didn't want to take any shortcuts.

Went and purchased sanding blocks, respirators, goggles, and a few different grit sand papers...
