I just installed the oem lip on my coupe a few weeks ago.. It's not that hard to drill the bumper, but on the templates, the little tabs are supposed to touch the lower grilles, and the edge of the paper adjacent to the tabs go along where the bumper bends underneath the grilles.. It's kind of hard to explain lol. hope this helps if you can make any sense of it

Where you drill the holes you would never see even if you took the lip off dont worry about it. Just remember one thing DON'T FVCK UP!

its easy to install, i did mine in < 1 hour. i was iffy about drilling at first. you dont need to take off the bumper. just follow the instructions and you will be all good. i got mine from riverside infiniti when they had a group buy a while back...

Yes there is drilling involved. Something like that would not stay very well without some kind of a mount. Stick on would not cut it.

Yep I got it on, and I got mine from everythingg35.com for 300 shipped and painted. Took <1 and it was my first time doing it to, but the bad part everytime you put one of the screws into the 4 holes that go into the bumper the next screw gets harder and harder to get in, so by the third one I could barely bend it anymore to get it in, so I just drilled another hole next to the 4th one to get the dang thing on... but its all good, cause the lip covers all the holes.... =P

Only if you don't actually look at the bumper; otherwise you will totally see the holes if you take the lip off. If you're doing this to a lease car, plan on buying it or returning it with the lip. Or pay to get a new bumper.
