It took me about 30 min to install my APR Carbon Fiber front lip. I didnt feel like staying on the ground the hole time unscrewing all those screws, so I just removed the bumper. Made it much easier

do i need to remove the entire undertray? can I just undo the front near the bumper and just pull it down/push it up to get around it?

It should fit no problem. Just remove the bumper, it WILL make it easier, and the bumper comes off pretty easy. Just make sure you dont break one of the two white clips that hold the sides in place..

It's pretty simple, but my only problem was trying to install it with the bumper still on the car (vehicle was on a lift). Some of the screws were a pain to get to considering I there was a good angle nor did I have a small enough screw driver. If you pull the bumper I don't see it taking much longer than 30 min like said, that's with time to take off and put the bumper back on

SE Lip Mounting Bolt/Screw Part Number???

Hey all! Can anybody give me the part number for the bolts/screws that hold the SE lip to the bottom of the front bumper? Please??? I damaged my front lip and stripped some of the mounting screw threads, so I need new screws/bolts.

Please help,
Thanks,
Jason

^^^Are they just black, wood screws? I'd gladly go and check myself, but I repaired my damaged lip such that, in order to re-mount it, I had to drill small holes in the bottom of the bumper and the top of the SE lip, and used zip ties to hold the two together. Sounds shady, but works really well, and was cheap & clean.

If I cut the zip ties, the lip just hangs, and I can't drive to Home Depot like that, or else my lip will go under the front tire and rip off the lip...not cool.

I bought a new APR lip, and need to get new hardware to mount the lip to the bumper. The undertray plastic clips can wait.
