I just got my Xenon lip in. Came home to find this huge a$$ box on my front porch. Hopefully I can install it this week but I have to start painting my house first so it might be a week or more before I get to install it. Soon as its on I'll post some pics of it. Here is pics of the box and the lip just taken out of the box:

the install is pretty straight forward, if your lip arrives bent or twisted, you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to carefully straighten it back out .

as far as the double sided sticky tape they give you goes .. it sucks

what i didnt was, test mounted it first (held up by bricks) and noticed where the problem areas were gonna be.

the i started by drilling 2 screws on the inner fender well spots that the instructions call for.

after that i started to see the sides loosen up and create a gap, so i grabbed the middle and pulled it forward, (without going too far), to tighten the lip up on the sides, drilled in one screw on each wall in the inside of the bumper (big gap in the middle) and it looked good and tight.

then i drilled two more screws in under each vent, where the instructions called for.

I noticed the sides were still a little gapped, so i took one screw out of the fender well area, and used the other screw that was still in to pivot the lip (pulled the bottom of the sides outward to close the gap on the sides) then screwed the screws back in

after that it was sitting pretty tight.

if this is too confusing, ill try to get some pics tomorrow.
