Notice that it doesn't come with screws or nothing. I bout the front lip but didnt come with no hard wear. Please a little help here.

Thanks Guys.

 

you can order the whole kit for 860 shipped from a dealer..

those are authentic, but without the hardware, it is pretty useless.

Literally and figuratively, you are "screwed" without the hardware (screws, tabs, etc).

 

I would check with your local dealer. They should have the hardware you may need.

When I bought and installed used splash guards, they were missing a couple of screws and my dealer had them and gave them to me at no charge.

 

What dealer potsmokez? $860 sounds like a good deal

As stated above: you are screwed without the hardware but it can be purchased from a dealer.

Here is a link detailing the hardware the for rear lip:

The sides:

from what i see.. you need all of what is boxed in #2.. first two pieces and the last piece does not have a part number thus you cannot buy..




good try but no he cannot get a full set of hardware.. he can only buy certain ones..

 

^If he contacts the dealer directly I bet they can sell him everything in box 2. I've had 2 front lips that came with no hardware and the dealer had no issues getting me the full set of hardware for either lip.

Example (my 04 AM Front lip didn't come with hardware) number 1 cannot be selected here yet the dealer was able to get me everything in box 1.

lol, i guess if you want to start pieceing shit together.. personally i think it is cheaper to just buy the whole kit at 1 time. Rather pay a bit extra to get a new kit than to get a used kit.

 

FYI, that seller can sell you all the pieces you need in whatever color he currently has available for $600. You might get the front in 1 color, the sides in another color, and the rear in a different color and then you'll be responsible for getting the hardware and painting all pieces in your factory color.

You are better off getting the kit BRAND NEW in the package with everything needed for a max of $860 shipped to your door. There are a few people on here that can get that for you.

I PM'ed him. Thanks for the info.

Hows the self-install? I know you have to drill into the rear bumper (front too?). Any tips of tricks good to know for the first time installing a kit like this?

 

drilling is the easy part, you have to cut the rear bumper..

the sideskirts are the part that i hate the most.. not the install but taking the original side skirts out are a bitch

 

What kind of cutting? Do i have a razor blade in my hand or a full blown dremel. Whats the main purpose of the cutting? Can you "over cut" and be ok? or is there a narrow window for success?

 

There are guidelines inside the bumper, as long as you cut within the guidelines you are fine.

overcutting half an inch is fine, no more than that though.

A dremel is required or a cutting tool, no hand blades.

my advice for you is to double check everything before cutting and have a second helping hand..

 

Thanks man. Its good to know there's room for 1/2 or so error. Using a Dremel doesn't always produce very accurate results.

Considering they are finishing my CBP repaint right now, side skirts should come off relatively easy

 

It's good that your dealer can sell you parts without factory part numbers, but not every other dealers are as capable.

Therefore, the only way to go for the OP, is to check with the local dealers to see if they also carry the complete set of mounting hardware. If they do, then buy the standalone aero pieces. Otherwise, buy from OEM.

 

I'm back guys.

Called my local dealer today and talked some guy called (KIWI) in Parts department. Told me that they can't get the those parts for me. He said that the parts come with the kit. And They wanted 1,279+tax.

 

^^^^^

Skier4lyfe303 seems to have excellent luck getting the mounting hardware (with no factory part numbers) you need.

Why don't you ask Skier4lyfe303 to help you out ?

 

Well just order the front hard wear kit for $37.37 and $10.85 for sipping. thanks for the help. Got everything from box #2 and he hooked me up with the rest of the hard wear for the sides and back for a little extra. Thanks again

 

When in doubt-always go OEM.

 

^^^Yes Sir. Thanks
