hey advans.... did you install your lip yourself? or did you pay the body shop to do it too?
i got quoted from multiple places around my area for $150 painting and $40-80 install. i was hoping if the install isn't too bad then i could just do it myself. the thing is i would have no idea where to drill holes and how to mount, but i can't imagine it would be that hard.
maybe i should as powa to take pics of how he mounted it on his? hmmmm...

and as for the installation you just need a friend to hold the lip on the other side.

is it clear how big of a hole i need to drill? and also, do i need to purchase something to mount it? (screws/washers, etc...) also, is there a specific place under the bumper where it will mount onto? sorry for the specific questions... it will just save me a lot of headache and guessing once i have to do it myself. 
and i dont want to pay the potential 80 for installation...

make sure you dont drill the hole bigger then the screws, thats the only thing you have to watch out for

only 2 screws on each side like this
for front and rear so just go to a hardware store, get 9 screws (just in case you lose one lol)
put the lip on,and drill a hole that is a little smaller then the screw (with the lip on) and screw it on.

sigh... if i didn't cave in and buy the avic-d3... i'd have enough $$ for the brabus rep lip right now. i wonder how many days of peanut butter and jelly, raman noodles, and cereal it'll take me to save up for it?
