Thanks. I attached the lip/splitter with double sided tape and quite a bit of self tapping screws and washers. Not for the faint of heart. This does require drilling into your bumper and/or lip.

So, breakdown and synopsis of HP Special Lip

:

Tools required:
-drill
-at least 32 self tapping screws and washers
-outdoor double-sided tape
-jack and jack stands
-ratchet and proper sockets (I remember using a 10, but I think I used something else, can't remember if it was for the bumper or for the headlights. I did both mods at the same time).

Steps:
1. Jack up the car so that you can gain access to the bottom bolts easily.
2. Remove top "suicide screws" (the black things that I have no clue what they're called).
3. Remove the single bolts at the end of the bumper in the wheel arch.
4. Remove bottom bolts.
5. Pop out the sides of the front bumper.
6. Take out bumper.
7. Remove foglight if applicable.
8. Wash the bottom of the bumper or lip.
9. Apply said double-sided tape to the bottom of the bumper/lip following the curvature. I suggest trying to stay as far back from the tip as possible (hard to do with the S lip since there is not much surface area). Let cure onto bumper/lip.
10. Start applying the garage door seal (wider end to the aforementioned applied tape).

11. Can either put on the entire garage door seal on at one time, or start drilling the self tapping screws with washers in one at a time as you apply the seal onto the tape. Space out the screws 3-4 inches on the sides, and 4 inches elsewhere. *Don't go too near the "wall" side of the seal and don't screw in the screw too deep or else you'll get "bumps" or "waves" on the "lip/splitter".

12. Once everything is on the bumper and secured, put the foglights back on the bumper.
13. Put bolts/screws back in their proper places.
14. Lower the car off of the jack stands.
15. Admire.

Total time: thinking it'll vary with your stamina and time of day. I did this at 2am. LOL.

So you painted eyelids on to your lights? I've thought about doing this instead of spending 60 bucks on them or getting a type of vinyl/something that will hold up.

I used black vinyl. I first slapped on some saran wrap over the headlights, and drew on a design I liked with a Sharpie. Before, I used to be able to get scraps of vinyl and cut out a pair for people and mail it to them for free. But I no longer can get free scraps of vinyl

Pitt Yaris · 04-01-2009, 02:44 AM

I'm guessing you got the vinyl locally? I looked around on the net a little. It's a much cheaper alternative if you can do it right, and I would paint flint mica if that's possible.

I sent a pair to someone in Canada, and he said that in return, he'd send me a pair that was flint mica. Never heard from him ever again...if you paint it, make sure you add flex additive so that there's no chance of it cracking. lol...not sure why it would when the eyelid won't be flexed in anyway after installed. hahaha.

Oh, I actually drove about 40 minutes (hour counting the traffic) away just to get those scrap pieces of vinyl. So not really locally I guess. hahahaha.
