USDM CTR Lip install

[WhiteComet]

I just got the CTR lip from showstoppers. The fitment is pretty good, but the thing does not have any screw holes. Am I just supposed to drill these into the side?

Should I use doublesided tape?

Is pretty straight forward. put the lip on the car, mark 1 or 2 holes on each end of the lip where it wrap into the bumper and carefully drill. the bottom of the lip should have 2 areas for you to mount screws as well. then use some self tapping screws and bolt it right on, done!

not to sound dumb. But what is a self tapping screw?

Should I use a washer? If so, metal or rubber?

a self tapping screw is sharp at one end and the threads are in a special pattern so while your turning it makes its own hole that is the perfect size...you do not need any washers with self tapping screws

[WhiteComet]

without any washers? Would'nt the pressure of the screws be concentrated to one small spot and crack the fiberglass over time?

I have heard of this happening before and have read that washers were needed to distribute the pressure evenly.

i never have and never will get a fiberglass kit so im not sure about that but it seems that a washer would be a good idea since fiberglass cracks easily

yes get a washer, metal or rubber don't matter, just don't tighten the crap out of it.
