Steve if you have the stock lip, it has little tabs that pop into the bottom of the spoiler. You just pull on the lip and the tabs pop out. Hang in there buddy.

Steve: You went with the high end carbon fibre front lip? Since I've gone thru three of the cheaper FVD style lips that I get from Sunset for $150....I havent' had the desire to jump up to the higer priced ones. IIRC...you don't drive your over too man bad roads or dips/speed bumps do you? You probably dont' go thru the lips like some of us do...I am death on those damn things. I bought one two months ago and I've got to so a little sanding on some rough spots already. I'll be anxious to see that CF one next time we meet at a Euro Sunday or other event.

Chuck
