Default Install Guide: STi V-Limited Lip

Hello again from EDO Performance!

Today we have for you an installation guide for the STi V-Limited Lip. It is being installed on a 2006 STi, but the procedure will be very similar for a V-Limited Lip installation on any other compatible Subarus.

Give your car that extra bit of JDM styling you’re looking for while adding performance at the same time! Constructed of 100% ABS plastic (the same material as your factory bumper), the V-Limited Lip is securely attached underneath the front bumper by a series of small bolts.
This is one of very few front lips available on the market that actually has a performance aspect too it. The design of the lip allows for an increase in front down force, improving your car’s handling at higher speeds. Don’t be fooled by imitations lips that are made of a hybrid material or fiberglass. These “replica” lips are flimsy and very prone to breakage. Treat yourself to the real thing and order your V-Limited Lip today! Don’t forget to protect your new V-Limited Lip with a rubber lip protector.

1. For this install you will need to get the front end of the car in the air. It doesn’t need to be that high, just enough to get under the front of the car. A jack stand under each of the two front lift points should do, ramps will also work if you have them.



2. First, you will need to mount the lip under the bumper so that it will stay steady while you drill the holes. Remove the plastic clips circled in the picture (three more on other end of bumper). Attach the lip to the bumper, but do not reattach the plastic cover’s flaps to the bumper as they were before.



3. Using a 3/16 drill bit, drill a hole through the bumper at all the mounting hole points of the lip.



4. Using the supplied hardware, secure the lip to the bumper. You may need to push the plastic cover or the plastic skid plate under the motor out of the way to reach and hold the piece to screw the bolt into in place.



5. Remove the four plastic clips that originally held the plastic covers in place and use them to attach the plastic cover’s flaps to the lip/bumper. And, if you have not already done so, reattach the last clip on each side that only holds the flap to the bumper.



6. Congratulations! Your car is now looking more JDM than ever!


If you would like to request an install guide for any of the other products we carry please fee free to contact us!

It has crossed our minds, but we figured it's quite easy. Start from the passenger side, cut off the excess at the driver's side, peel off the plastic on the sticky stuff, drill the appropriate holes, and plop in those little clips.

Yes...you will have to drill into your lip.
