Changing front lip
How easy is it to change out the front lip?

Mine's getting a little scraped up and I'm thinking of getting one of the replacement carbon fiber ones.

1) remove screws from both ends of the front lip.

2) Pull off starting with one end.


may need a short length screwdriver.

Oh, FWIW, I left my screws off. That way, if I accidentally grab a curb with the lip, it will just pop off rather than damaging my bumper. It stays on just fine without the screws.
