I hate to drill into my new bumper to install the front lip. Is it necessary since they give you the tape and other hardware or am I asking for trouble by not drilling and following the instructions completely. Anyone do it without drilling and if so when and any issues. Thanks

 

There is no real secure way you can mount it with just the 3M tape. I did all the steps, and drilled with the template. It is really easy, and when if you ever want to remove the tape, every single hole is below visible lines...........so no one would see it if you removed the lip, the rear lip is a different story, because you have to drill right into the back of the bumper.........

Follow the instructions

 

do all templates come in the kit from acura?

 

yes, as long as you are able to follow directions you can install an a-spec bodykit. you really do not need any mechanical ability to do this job.

 

yea, its really straight forward...........get together with a few friends, and try it, its not bad at all.

 

Yep. Fairly easy. Did it myself in a couple of hours. The problem I had was replacing all of the double sided tape. I purchased two huge rolls of 3M tape (Over $50 spent) and have plenty left over. The tape helps with reducing the "gaps" when the front a-spec lip gets installed next to the body and seems to be stronger than the tape Acura initially used.

The drill holes are not visable when looking at the car because you drill from the bottom.

Overall--easy installation. Good luck!
