Self tapping screws for front lip

Jrags87 · 05-17-2008, 09:03 AM

I've attached a V-limited lip replica with the standard 5 bolts, but I'm looking to use some self tapping screws to help with sag.

Any recommendations?

I agree. At least use something that you can take on and off and still maintain a strong connection. Self tapping screws will never have as strong of a hold after the first time you remove them.

Yeah, the dealership has an install kit for like $90 bucks, just all the stock screws, rivets, etc that the lip needs.
