Just wondering why you could not install it yourself? I installed my own data lip held on my 2 screws on each side on the wheel weel and double sided tape. You can hit up PJ bonifacio which is down the street from vision autosport, 626-336-4595, or M1 autobody, 626-575-4835. Should only cost about 50.00 since it's relatively easy.

Hey man, I am the guy that sold you the lip. I thought it would have been installed by now. It should be fairly easy to install it. Any shop can do it for you or if you want to save money DIY. You don't have to remove the wheels. You just have to turn it all the way to give you the space you need to tap in the screws on each side. You don't even have to drill it. Just use a pointed self tapping screw and it should penetrate the plastic bumper. If you had came earlier last Saturday. I would have helped you install it. Good luck getting up on your driveway though. I liked the lip a lot but unfortunately it was sitting too low for my taste.

wassup man,
me and my friend jeff went back to his place and decided to give it a try. went to homedept without looking carefully at the size of the screws..went back again to get the right size. we were about to drill then i was like..hold on...maybe we should rethink this....i remember when i helped him put on his veilside lip....what a comedy of errors..
i figure that the lip is going to take a beating so might as well get it done right instead of us two jimmy rigging it on...i saw an image of my lip falling off from smashing it on my driveway flash before my eyes right when we were about to drill...

Hope everything works out man. Post some pictures once it is done. The lip looks very nice but needs a lot of care driving it around that low. Peace!

and another...i use to think the "fins" look wierd but they are growing on me now.
i love the way this lip looks. it doesnt seem like too many people have it. i was thinking about getting the data systems lip but now that i think about it...it looks way too plain for my taste..
again..only downside is that its WAY too low..ohh well..
no guts no glory..hahahah
