i've searched but there were no informative threads on how to remove the lip. i didn't get the chance to look under the bumper yet but is it just a matter of a few screws? any help is greatly appreciated. TIA.

 

look first next time, then ask.... it is pretty self explanatory once you get under there.... take the bumper off, make sure you unhook the undertray first and then remove the lip. Its simple... good luck

 

He potentially could have gained some valuable info to help him beforehand....Good question.

 

agreed however, for a lip removal..... no prior knowledge is needed. At least he said he searched

 

FYI, once you remove the undertray and get the nose off, you'll need to remove the oil cooler duct from the interior of the bumper, or else you can't get to a few of the screws holding the lip onto the bumper.

But overall, you just need to use the "How to" and you'll figure it out easily.

BTW, once you understand what you're doing, you can have it done in about an hour and a half, start to finish. (I installed an SE lip on my IX)

Good luck!

 

And more FYI, if you are installing a CF lip, you will need an extra set of hands in order to make it tight.... you need to squeeze the lip against the bumper to predrill... and drill the holes tight to the bumper so when the screws go in, and the lip flexes back, the screws hold it tight to the bumper... Then it looks like this

 

Remove bumper,then there's like 20 screws holding the lip to the bumper.Look at the pic,see all the angled flat spots on the edge of the bumper.All those are for screws.
