Davis,
Very nice presentation on that front lip.
How difficult was it to install?
And those amber/yellow fogs are growing on me. How did you do that?

JimPap with the lip you need 2 people to install it one at each hand plus i used double sided tape Extra Strong and screw to hold it as well. I drilled the screw underneath plus used blue painters tape to hold it for a secure bond. With the fog lights it is just yellow Lamin-X film.

Did you put anything on before you applied the Lamin-x film ? or you just cleaned the surface then put it on ? and u still have the stock bulb ?

I called them last night and asked them about the bubbles, they said as long as they weren't bigger than a quarter they should disappear in two weeks and if they don't to call them back. It seems to be part of the install process and nothing to worry about.
EDIT: The one thing they did seem concerned about, as they asked me three times, is if the edges were staying down. I told them yes, yes, and yes, but it was weird they kept asking about that. I think that's the big thing that will ruin your installation.

I don't see how the air bubbles will work themselves out after xx weeks, though. Usually you have to make sure they're squeegee'd out before the film dries.

Yup squeeze out the water and flat the surface with a credit card to remove air bubbles and just wait 2 weeks for it to completely settle to the lens
