i heard that these cf lips crack/dent easily or something... so wouldnt it be smarter to just bolt on just incase they do get heavily damaged and you want to take them off?

i believe these carbon fiber lips are painted with a clear coat which helps wit the cracking and rock chips. from what i heard.. so you'll be fine..

i didn't really feel the need to glue nor tape.. when you put it on, just screw two at the bottom and it fits just like that.. I did provide the kit with double side 3m, but i never peel it off.. i dont really see the need to.. other then the fact that someone can just unscrew mine and take it ... LOL

i suppose that would be a problem. so wait. the two pieces come taped already? but the tape is double sided, so when applying to your bumper, you would just peel off the other side, align it, then screw it? or do the pieces not come taped already?

i added the tape on.. for cushion so it wouldn't scratch my bumper.. but what you do is... peel off the edge just a little tape it to the other side of the bumper and when it's in place.. you pull the tape .. WA-LA
