Screws.

Recently purchased a seibon front lip and sideskirts. Instructions were garbage and was for a wrx. Doesn't come predrilled. I'm ok with. But they could at least come with screws and bolts. Anybody know what size bolts and screws I'll need?

Can't help with the screw sizing, but I hope you can get it all figured out - I'm less inclined to ever make a purchase from Seibon with almost each new post I read regarding one of their products.

Your best bet might just be to contact Seibon directly to ask about it, or the place that you purchased them from.

My downforce front lip came pre-drilled, but no hardware. I went and purchased some 6x25mm countersunk bolts/washers, like this:



Then went to the hardware store and got rubber washers that matched the diameter, and some nylon lock nuts. Mounted in the existing holes underneath the front bumper. So if the mounting points aren't even dimpled on your lip you can always remove the bumper, line up the lip, and drill down through the mount holes in the bumper.

As for skirts, I'm pretty sure there are no pre-existing mounts on the car. Most people just sink some self tapping screws and cry themselves to sleep over it.

How many bolts for just the front lip? I tried reaching out to seibon and I couldn't ever get a single person to answer the phone.

Yep. 6 is all you need.

And some 3M double sides tape for insurance.
