Hey SL,

I'm running into some issues while installing a used oem lip i bought. It didn't come with the T-clips or any of the required hardware according to the install guide on TRD Sparks so I am probably going to have to improvise. I've never really done this type of thing before but am a pretty fast learner but just need some direction.

I'd like it to stay on permanently so I don't mind the drilling into the bumper part. I am also not opposed to using that 3m all weather double sided tape that some have mentioned, but am just unsure of how permanent this can be. Ideally, I'd like to have the original hardware to do it the right way, but no one seems to have had any luck purchasing the oem hardware.

Any suggestions? TIA

^^really? i've searched around and it sounds like most ppl haven't had any luck being able to buy the hardware itself. can anyone confirm this?

The part # for the T-clip is 75392-35200 or 75392-04010. They're both the same. They comes in bags of 10s i believe. Cost me little over $25 for both.

Did you end up installing it yourself and if so how hard was it?? Because I have the front lip and and a little weery of installing it myself. Drilling holes into my bumper kinda of worries me there is a lot that can go wrong.

i installed the front lip on my car. i highly recommend drilling holes on the ends of each cut (about 6 i think) then, using a cutting wheel on a dremel. slowly cut it out. The OEM lip will be a PITA to get into the holes, but that's good as long as you don't crack the bumper. cause you want that lip to stay on. mine did. i slammed it on the ground after i went airbourne and the lip got spidercracked, didn't fall off the car tho. even tho i had to take it off to get it fixed..... :gun:

Dam playa sorry to here that :doh: . So installing it was a pain in tha azz. Do you have to drill any holes on the wheel well?? Or just on the bumper? Do you have any pointers to make this go a little smoother? I plan on doing this 2marrow.


So any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated :bow:

Thanks

I was just curius to know if anyone notice that after puting the front bumper back on it felt a little loose. When i grab it it is able to move up and down a bit. I dont know if it is just me or what because I did not notice this before i took it off!

you could be missing some snap in tabs...i'm missing a few but yeah for the most part it might feel a bit loose imo.

this is going to be a PITA. there are templates for where you drill on the inside of the bumpers...so u have to take them off!

Personally I thought it was not that hard to make the holes and put on the lip............the hard part for me was putting the bumper back on after I installed the lip :tap: And then noticing it was a bit loose, but I hope thats just me being a little paronoid :lalala:
