Hello thank you for all the information and help post it on this forum is really appreciated. I want to put a front lip on my FL5 that one doesn’t drill into the bumper and goes into the factory location. My driveway is too steep and I don’t plan on lowering the car either just want a little bit more aggressive look into it. I don’t want to pay for the Varis to drill into the bumper and destroy it in my driveway. I found a chinisium fiber 😂 on eBay less expensive that the one in the picture that goes into the factory location has someone try them before or just leave it without lip for my sanity.

Lmk how it is if you buy it. I was on the same boat as you. I really didn’t want to drill into my bumper so I went with the aeroflow dynamics lip.

Here is the project aero before and after. I like the looks, It's subtle and more oem +

did you take your bumper off to install? How long did it take?

Left the bumper on and removed quite a few clips and bolts underneath to gain the access you need. It's tight and you will scrape the hell out of your arms but not horrible. I think it took me 1.5 hrs

wonder if it’s all the same ones i took off today for the intercooler install or is it the screws behind the bumper ones?

Took less then an hour to take off and put on intercooler and bumper this morning

Yea most likely the same, you need to get the bottom of the bumper loose, so you can pull it down to get the access to get you hand up in there.

YeahI love it I definitely will go this route is the more convenient one on how steep my driveway is. Like I say I really don’t want to lower the car either even if I want to it feels good the way out of the factory.
