cf lip that requires no drilling?
Hey folks, does anyone know of any CF lips that require no drilling? I'm not very comfortable with drilling holes into my car.

From my findings so far only the Carlsson lip seems to fit the bill. Are there any downsides to not drilling the lip in? Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.

You really really should drill unless you want to someday run over your lip. There's enough down wind that I wouldn't trust any adhesive.

+1

If you are not comfortable doing it take it to a reputable shop that can. The last thing you want to do is have some CF road kill....

Untrue. You will find that HK has many good shops. I know, I live there a few months every year.

It's really not possible for any lip to stay on at speeds with just adhesive tape. Not unless you are willing to use some crazy epoxy, which will be even more complicated and never come off compared to drilling.
