Any write up for how to install the 2012+ W204 Godhand Front Lip
Rear Diffuser looks easy enough. tabs fit directly
The front lip uses 3m alone? Any tricks for lining it up perfectly?

I would recommend having a friend with you to help hold it in place. Also use double sided take AND screws! You dont want it falling off on highway or after scrapping it going out of a parking lot. My ride is stock and it even scraped going through a intersection.
Do a test fit to make sure its not defective and everything is lining up. Put double sided tape on it. Only take off a lil edge off the double sided tape. So when you line it up with a friend. Pull the tab off and then hold it in place couple of mins. Have friend hold it just in case and put like 4 screws in.

We typically recommend no double sided tape for front lips. The tape can create a small gap in between the bumper and the lip. Just 6-8 self taping screws will be enough.

It appears we only have one maybe two lip design options from what I am finding?
The one I see most commonly isn't really my favorite. Wish there were other options.

The back of the lip has two parts it looks like I could drill through. Do I drill through both edges or just the top? Also am I going to need to drill through the stock bumper?
Drill through red and blue or just red?
Suggestions on screw placements? Blue x's I figured were optional depending on how the bumper fit. What size screws?

I was trying to see how the front lip would fit. It doesn't seem to "slide" into place. It feels like I am just guesstimating where it looks right and centered.
Mine does not seem like it is going to fit as flawlessly as this one I saw online.
I bought mine online, I can't imagine they would very that much since it seems they are all from Taiwan. The middle part of my lip (The raised edge) does not seem to extend from edge to edge. I don't think any shops in my area have experience with installing this part so I really don't consider that an option. I'm an engineer for a living so I really don't think I will have much trouble.

Honestly, at this point I realize that fit is really the most important part. If this part does not fit 100% I am going to return it and buy from RW Carbon if they have it in stock. The eBay seller does not care about customer service, just selling the product they drop ship from Taiwan. I'm far to **** to install something on my car that is not backed by the seller.

Any follow up with where to screw through?
Thanks.
I know it's an old thread, but that's what the search function is for. HAHA. I'm a supermod on another IB forum, and always encourage people to search.

Just an update... I bought some Gorilla glue double sided tape and plan to use screws as well. That way, there will be next to zero added gap, but also having some extra adhesive will help hold it in place along with the screws.
