How to install EBAY poly lip(with pics)

Hey guys. I know a lot of people out there are afraid to pull the trigger on an ebay lip for fear of fitment/installation issues.

I purchased one from baysonr, so I can only speak for them, but everything went great. I am starting this writeup after removing the front bumper



there are fifteen gold Phillips head screws that hold the oem lip on, take them all off





here's the hardware the lip came with, I didnt use any of it, buy maybe you would if you had an undertray


old lip vs new lip(and dog)


now start screwing on the new lip, work from the center out. I recommend using a power drill if you are by yourself, it makes it easier to get a tight fit.





now time for a test fit on the car before painting:





now installed after professionally painted apex silver:






i wish I had done this a year ago. I think this is a great alternative to a more fragile and expensive carbon fiber lip, and really makes the front end look more aggressive.

I installed mine last month. Fitment was a little off. I had to literally stretch the **** out of it to fit. However a little time and it paid off. It's not bad for $100. And it won't break.

I think if you put the carbon fiber without you paint it would be better.Οf course this is subjective and is my opinion.
