Downforce FRP front lip version - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@NoFear99 any tips on the installation? did you use the factory mounting points and 3M tape?

I'm looking to get the FRP but just want to make sure i install it securely as possible. No drilling is a big plus but i don't mind doing so.

From what I remember I think some holes need to be drill and some of them dont because they match with already existing holes from the factory.

Very easy to install.

I also used some 3M tape for a better straight flush fit to the OEM front lower bumper.

Looks great overall with the spats.

Chargespeed style replica side skirt sold by Jon Motoring.

They come in black plastic. I wrapped them into a carbon fiber vinyl.

What are the sides of the front lip being held by? I just got mine and the sides do not come predrilled, so did you drill it or did you use tape?

Take a look closely at your front lip.

There is a place especially marked to mount a 3M tape everywhere.

Jon Motoring only sells one for the BRZ I think. The one for the FRS is nothing like this on, sadly. I want one so bad but I want the cheapest on possible due to horrible roads here.

There are grooves for the tape, but im pretty skeptical about if 3M's VHB tape will hold up against really cold winters or high speeds.
I was just thinking of drilling a 1/2" hole to match up with the ones on the corners of the bumper then using a nut, bolt, and washer to hold everything in place.

At first I used the standard 3M tape but it wasnt strong enough. It doesnt make it.

I had to reinstall the lip a second time but this time I used something like this with an adhesive surface twice large.

It is now solid like a rock. No need to drill others holes for extra nuts and bolts.

But you can always do it if you want to. It is up to you.
