Default Front Lip Install?
What is the best way to install this as far as proper hardware. There is probably a dozen or so holes I would have to drill on the curve of my bumper.

Thanks

Not sure why I really asked this question to begin with...But I just taped it up, drilled the holes and put screws in, and it first perfect and holds nice and tight! (could have been a little more centered with my drilling..)

I'm not sure if it is OEM, it was given to me, or else I wouldn't be having that on it ; ) I can find out if you'd like. Seems oem, fits very well, even on the corners.

DDM Tuning sells them, I'm running one on my track cars OEM front bumper and it fits great. I just used about 15 zip-ties to install mine though

How do you install it with zip ties? Just drill a hole and use the zip ties instead of a screw?

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a noob at working on cars. I do want to get one of these on my car. I think it would help with driveway scrapes and bumps.

pretty much, I drilled all the holes that I would normally have to drill with a second set of holes behind them, then used the zip-ties to "stitch" the lip on. I use the car for autocross so I figured if I hit a cone hard enough to knock the lip loose I'd just be scattering zip-ties instead of screws on the course
