OEM front lip HELP
OEM front lip HELP
okay. i just bought a used OEM front lip from a fellow member on the board. ive done my research and looked at instructions online and everything.
heres the problem. all i got with the lip was 10 clips.
where can i get the other parts that the front lip should have come with?
(i.e.: rubber washer(4), M6 nut (4) M5x20 Tapping Screw (2), M5 J-nut (2), and the TEMPLATE!
if anyone could please help me out... i would greatly appreciate it =)

Having the template sure as hell helps, but you can install the lip without it. Simply line up the lip to the front of your bumper (have a friend give you a hand) and go ahead and clip one end (corner that wras around the bumper) and now mark your front bumper where the bolt closest to that corner touches. That's your first hole. Now follow through to the middle two and once again the other end. As long as you stay within the bolts mounting location (vertically), you can always drill out to the left or right to better help fit the lip (as you won't see your mistake once the lip is on). It sounds more complicated than it really is and regarding the missing hardware, don't bother going to the dealership and paying a fortune for a handful of bolts and nuts. As long as you have the plastic (black) push-pins for the bottom (something like 6+ pieces), all you really need then is two self tappping flat head screws (black prefered) for the ends (inside wheel well corners) of the lip. That's all! The extra hardware mentioned is also for the bottom, but pretty much overkill. Don't believe me, you will once you see how many push pins are holding the bottom end of the lip. It ain't going now where, but heck if you feel that still isn't enough, pick up a few more slef tapping screws and use them below, but once you won't need too. Good luck ...
i installed the front lip myself. and i can tell you, the template sucks!!!! you can easily install it without the template by using the front lip as your template to drill the holes. as far as the parts, you can get those at any infiniti dealer.
^... I second that that template didn't help what so ever... I just line up the lip with the bumper and pressed up it so that the bolts would mark the bumper being that I was drilling it anyways... I cut the bolts on the far corners off... I didn't see any use for them being there... just more holes to deal with... no gaps...
