Default C5R Lip Install?
Hey guys, I'm getting ready to install my C5R carbon lip and I was just wondering if anyone else has installed one yet.

Any helpful tips? Pictures? Write ups?

Thanks!

Make sure that it is staight and not warped. You will need to drill
holes to attach. I hope that you are not lowered, they don't last long
lowered.

Nope, not lowered at the moment. Might go down just a little.

Do I need to remove the stock air deflector to to fit this on?

THanks for the tips.

I have the zr1 splitter. I removed the side pieces only. When installing I prefitted and then tacked the ends first, then let the center section bow into its natural position.

Thanks for the help. Think I'm going to hold off until the winter to do this so there is no rush.

Measure twice, drill once!

Send a PM to James2002z06 - I think he installed a front spoiler and can give you some advice.
