how to install stillen front lip

Well the lip just arrived today and so now I wanna put it on. But wanted to know how you guys did your install. How did you make it stay and where did you bolt it up?

Slide it on the front, it should press fit on the sides, push up on it at the same time and it should hold (mine did). Then drill a hole where the lip edge meets the inner fender and put a rivet in it, repeat on the other side of the car.
Sorry, no pics; wish I could help more but I'm working for the MAN right now.

i would advise having it professionally done, from what I have heard, but not sure. I have never installed one.

Its not hard. I've done it myself. Test mount it first and see how they hook around the front of the wheel well opening. There's a little bit of metal folded in where the wheel well lining is bolted on. You're going to drill a hole where the Stillen lip wraps around that metal fold at the bottom. The drill hole size is going to match the rivet size that you're going to use. You'll have to take the wheels off in order to have some room to maneuver the drill.

I've done it myself, its not hard at all. Whatever the guys above said plus you can use 3M double sided tape on the sides to hold it even tighter.

ok for a 95/96 you will need to use the screws to secure it. they have to be from behind the bumper screwed into the lip. if you dont it will fall off. its not like a 97-99 which stay on with nearly nothing since its designed differently.
