Default OEM Front Lip

Hey guys sorry if this a repeat I searched all I could and could not find anything, so if there is a post on here please point me in the right direction.


I want to know how difficult it is to install an OEM front lip on a 07 TC. Is it possible to do it myself or am I better off hiring a body shop??

Please help me out.
Thanks,
Tom

definitely something you can do by urself
Just use some 3M double-sided tape so that it will stick and screw it at both ends of the lip kit to the original front bumper. Save your money and do it urself. Will be no problem

You will have to grind off the tabs on the lip if you just want to mount it with 3M tape and not cut holes in the bumper.

Why grind off the tabs and 3m mount it??? Just take off your front bumper and dremel out the slots, there's indentations on the backside of the bumper where to make them. It's really easy.

Because if you ever decide to take it off you wouldn't have holes in your bumper.

why would you grind off the hidden tabs just to end up having to screw it in on the sides.

Small screw holes and large cutouts are two different things. If you ever decided to change lips, for example OEM to 5A, you wouldn't have to find another bumper.
