Seibon TB lip help wanted, anyone with lip installing experience!!

Hey everyone,

So the problem I have is, the Seibon TB lip wraps around the bumper, well it actually covers the plastic screw at the bottom that holds the fender liner in place, as many of you know, it's required to remove those screws to remove the bumper but the seibon lip covers the third screw...

What would your course of action be?

Modify the lip somehow? (Please provide insight)

Do you absolutely need that screw? if not, just remove it.
Otherwise, you could always trim part of the lip so that it doesn't interfere w/ that screw.

Good point, the other 2 out of 3 screws should hold it fairly well and the lip should help hold it in place, I know Carbon is fairly delicate so I am worried of trying to modify the lip itself.

It's not delicate at all actually. The only thing I can think of is using a hole saw to drill an access hole. But you really don't want to breath the dust.

Just see how everything holds up without that screw first.

Will do it's fairly large though so the hole would have to be marginally big, thinking im better off just leaving it out
