hey guys does anyone know if it is possible to install the aspec kit with just the double sided tape and the under bumper screws? i am buying the kit but i dont want to drill into my bumper bc i am not giving the car back with the kit. please someone help me on this , thanks

 

you can install the brackets in wheel wells for front and rear and then screw the two sides on (not side skirts) along with double sided tape. you still have drill holes, but they aren't that visible at all. check out the pics in DIYs.

sideskirts don't require drilling at all.

 

but is there anyway of installing the kit without drilling holes into the bumper at all? i saw the 3g install pics, but that was on an 06, is it any different of an install on an 08?

 

I don't trust the tape though.

 

k man thanks for the imput, im gonna see what happens, im gonna post pics as soon as i do it..

 

It's not gonna fit right. cause even with the drilling it has gaps so if there are no screws the weather is going to get in between the kit and the bumper somehow. did you sell those springs yet?

 

yes i sold the springs the other night. the kid was local and had the money in hand. sorry

 

the rear I can't help with but all the holes that you drill in the front are not noticable. (3 underneath the car and two inside the wheel well.

 

Im gonna try to go ahead and do this just with extra double sided tape and the standard screws, im gonna see if i can avoid the drilling.

 

just pray to god you don't bottom out bro
and in NY potholes are a BITCH

 

You'll be fine without drilling

 

ballin, u think it will be ok? i am gonna double on the the tape , i think it should be fine, my spoiler is on with just double suded tape and it is hard as a rock

 

AHHHH!!! finally done!!!lol i installed the a spec kit and type s grills on my car this morning. will post pics once the weather gets nice...kit look sick on wdp with the type s grills lol

 

Nice. Me personally id just give it back to them with holes in the bumper and tell them it came that way. My dealers shot.

 

nice! let's see some pics. I guess you didn't drill any holes?

 

pics???

 

I'm considering getting the A-spec soon so I just to see if the Kit really holds up for a good month or so on NY roads.

 

i will try to take pics tomarrow morning, it looks really good, i also installed all type s grills...i went ahead and drilled, i wanted to make sure it was on right..

If you drill on the front, nobody will notice that. I think it is important to keep the front secure as it has more chances to get scraped on a driveway or something. You don't want to have it fall off!

It's the holes for the rear that will be noticed. I think you can get away without doing it. The rear lip gets less abuse. The only thing you have to worry about is bumps when parallel parking. There are enough clips around to hold the weight of the bumper. Just double up on the double-sided tape. There are gaps on the edges of the bodykit that has no double-sided tape so fill in those gaps to be as continous as possible.

 

...i wouldn't trust JUST the tape?

 

ive come to the conclusion that u have to drill, so i did, i didnt think the tape would be strong enough to hold the kit. the holed for the front are under the bumper so no one will see. its the 4 holes in the back bumper that u have to drill that will be noticeable if the kit is removed. no big deal though, the kit was reletively easy to install , i think mostly im part bc i had very detailed instructions

 

good deal!
