I have had more experience with the rear lip. But if your going to install it make sure you take the bumper off completely.

Mounting points should be 2 in the wheel well (each side) and I think two mount points underneath to prevent it from lifting. Some people use two sided tap I think.

When I go out tonight I will see if I can take a look under my car

k thanks... i tried test fitting it.. and doesnt seem like the bottom of the lip will reach the bumper.. and also too short to reach the holes of the stock air dams.

i was just thinking of drilling a hole on the sides of the lip (within the fender side) and using one of the holes of the fender liner as an attachment point and use double sided 3m tape on the front under grill area.

Next time I am in North York I will give you a call and you can see how mine is secured.

But that is a good question, did you get your lip from HOS or did you get it from ARS I think they called?

This lip in the picture has differences. If you look around the nose of the car it looks to be integrated with the lip.

Take a look at the one from HOS (singapore) / Rick

in this picture look at the nose, there is something different around the nose of this car vs. a stock one. like yours and mine. I have never seen that before.

that said, you should be ok to install it, if you bring it to a bodyshop they will be able to line it up. But from what I remembered, we took off the bumper and it wrapped into place.
