just looking for options on how you guys put yours on?

would self tapping screw work, do i need washers or whatever?

i also heard from some people that to drill a hole and use a nut and bolt to hold it on.

whats the best choice for me? with any pictures of the bolts/screws so i can go to the store today and try it out. THANKS

 

Did the lip come with hardware, templates and instructions? I'm not sure why you are asking for details on what types of bolts/screws to use.

The lip should come with some cut out templates. They are pretty detailed and show you where they need to be cut and folded. They are then taped into place on the car and these templates show you where to drill holes, and what size they should be. There are small holes and then larger ones placed beside them (about an inch in diam)
The large holes accept a metal clip that covers the smaller hole beside it. This metal clip accepts the screw that holds the lip into place.
The lip is held in place with both tape and screws. The screws into plastic alone would not hold very well so that's where the metal clips come into play.

Biggest PITA is getting the holes drilled. I lifted the front end up so I could get the drill underneath. Other than that, it was a pretty smooth install. Took me a few hours, taking my time to get it right the first time around.

 

nope no hardware included. aaaah so thats why im missing something.

 

^ you are missing a lot like Aeson said(beat me to it ) did you buy this new or used? cause having the template and hardware will help a lot and make life easier with a 15-30min install.

 

if you bought it new check the bottom of the box hardware was taped at the very bottom when i got my lip

 

And I just threw my templates out a few months ago. They've been sitting in the garage for a year and I knew I'd never need them again.

 

i got it from riverside. !@#$% maybe it is in the box somewhere. i was surprised that there was nothing included. i will quadruple check when i get home.

keep you posted.

 

FYI if you dont find it taped in the box just contact riverside and they will own up and send you a replacement they are great to deal with.

 

I got mine from there as well.... double check.

 

It's in plastic & usually taped to the inside of the box

 

+1
for it being taped to the box

 

kk. thanks everyone. super anxious to get this checked. updates asap when i get home.

 

Prepare to be called a meathead if they're in the box

 

me
false alarm.

for everyone who helped me.

just a meathead?? i can take that, i would expect something far worse.

i was just testing you guys if you remembered where your parts were located.

 

LOL... Meathead!

Glad it's all there... now instal it and post em' when you got em'!
