    Hi
    I just got my scorpion v-lip from that ebay singapore store. It came with NO screws or instructions. The seller's e-bay post contains a few vague pictures of installing it with screws.

    Does anyone have dyi instructions and pictures of the actual screws/washers he used when installing this lip? It's similar to the RRM lip apparently and those came with screws for other people from what I read.

    I don't remember what size screws i got, but make sure you use 6 self-tapping screws. you should beable to tell where they go. I didn't get any directions either (from RRM) it was pretty much self explanitory, and easy. The lip i got had 3M tape under middle part.

    Installation is easy you will need 6 self tapping screws 3 for each side and 3M tape for the middle. Its very obvious where the screws go you cant miss it. Its best to get another person to help you so you can get it on straight and you will drill the screws right through the lip into the airdams I cant remember what size screws they were i think maybe 1" or 2 1/2" screws. They were pretty long so the lip stays attached firmly.

    thats because it was not really painted it was still just fiber glass with a matt finish to get a good matte or glossy look you need to paint it. Plasti-dip is a good idea when you get a chance i would actually paint it because you will be touching up that plasti-dip all the time when a rock chip hit it.
