Looking for help installing Lip Kit this weekend (FX VA). Will pay.

My lip kit has just arrived via fedex today. I was hoping to do the install myself this weekend, but after reading the DIY, I don't think I will be comfortable drilling holes in my car.

I was planning on installing it sometime this weekend. If anyone is willing to help, I would appreciate it. I will compensate for your time, but let me know ahead of time how much you charge and your experience.

I am located in Springfield VA off of braddock rd.

you can do it!! just take your time!! it took me 2 days to do it because i didn't want to drill holes into my bumper either.. But after you take off your bumper for the first time you realize you can do it. Just have to check and re-check to make sure your drilling in the right spot..

Come up to Nashua, NH j/k and I'll install it with you, instructions are pretty straight forward and you dont really have to be mechanically inclined to install it. I am installing a second kit next week on my cousins recently acquired 05 TL.
