What size, type, etc. of hardware do you guys (who have a lip kit) suggest using?

 

3M heavy duty exterior mounting tape
self tapping screws
or small bolt/nut/washer combo
or zip ties (the way of the drifter)

 

a 1/4 drill, small nuts and bolts, and 3M double sided tape. its easy as pie.

 

Which would have better long term results, the self tapping screws or the nut & bolt route?

 

i think its safer with the nut/bolt combo.

 

Deffinitely use nuts and bolts, double sided tape and screws wont do jack **** and your lip will just keep comming off.

 

Weld-Bond!

 

I think I'm going to go with the nuts and bolts and maybe some double sided tape if there are any minor gaps to fill.

One other question, with regards to the front lip, the part that goes inside the wheel well, do you just bolt it inside the fender wheel well? Or is there some place that gives it more security in that area?

And then the other question is dealing with the rear section of the side skirts, when drilling into the metal to mount it, do you need to tap a threaded hole in or is there another way to go about it?

 

Off the topic:What size 18" tires are you running? Yeah and the car is sweet man.

 

the front lip: the metal lip of the inner fender lining use that. its where the inner lining screws onto the fender. youll see screws lined up on the part where you will drill. for the front part if you want a cleaner look use a reamer gun to ream the front of the kit onto your bumper. i went the other way and just used to bolts/nuts to hold the front of it up.

for side skirts use the same nut/bolt combo but you will need to drill a hole in the fender wall front and back to mount it. also use 3M double sided tape all along the middle of the skirt where it goes under the door. for the rear pieces, since its a 95/96 youll also need to drill a hole under the bumper to mount the 2 piece rear valences and also one in the fender wall.
