Rexpeed Carbon fiber lip sides and rear

How the hell do you install them? It appears I need to drill holes in the lip to get it to fit, and holes in my rear bumper (JDM) to get the rear to work...I haven't even started trying to figure out the sides.

You'd think there'd be a warning or something on their site if you do have to drill.

Any ideas and yes I've searched and I didn't come up with anything from this site (which is weird considering how many people have this here)...and even less help on line.

Did you email them with your questions? I would think they would be able to help you. I'm thinking that most likely it would be some type of double sided tape or body adhesive. I don't think you would have to do any drilling to attach something like this. I'm sure whatever it is you need 3M makes it, a body shop could probably answer your question fairly easily also.

Ok so got the front lip on (I don't think there is any other way to get it on put to take the front bumper off unless you have a lift). Sides were fairly simple. Rear bumper extension baffles. No holes in the OEM JDM rear bumper but clearly it looks like I need to drill it out.

Anyone know what kind of hardware is needed to get a bolt through the rear? Any pictures people can through up so I can see what underneath their cars looks like? No double sided tape on the rears either.

I had to mess with my sides for a while to get them to fit in but they actually line up. And I also had to drill into the rear on my jdm bumper.

you can attach the rear with some shop clamps, allign everything all sides, walk back and forth make sure it looks even before you start drilling.
oh on my Voltex I had to cut a small section to clear my Greddy ti-c, it looked like a quarter moon.

a lift will get the job done better

Just use some short sheet metal screws,that's what i did on the rear.As for the sides just remove factory screws and install the sides.
