Question on installing front lip

Per instructions, do I really have to remove the front bumper to do this? And also, will I have to drill holes. Its an OEM front lip

hey man...i just got my oem kit too, installed the rear and sides, those were pretty easy...as for the front lip, the instructions do say to remove the front bumper, but i don't think that's totally necessary...i'm just going to jack the car up, remove the front two wheels (which probably won't be really necessary either, i'll see if i have enough room though), and take it from there...there are already dimples ready to be popped and screwed in at the rightmost and leftmost part of the front bumper where the lip meets the bumper, just screw those in...and as for drilling holes, yes we are going to have to drill holes to install the front lip and i believe there are 9 holes to be drilled all on the underside of the lip into the underside of the front bumper, and then there's those 2 strips of double sided tape at the top...other than that, it shouldn't be too bad, i just haven't had the time to get it done...well mine's an ssm too, come down to nj we can install the lips together haha, anyways good luck and let me know how it goes and if there's anything else i can help ya out with...
