Install questions for anyone with a Gigamot front lip

Hey Guys,

Finally got my Gigamot front lip put on due to the nicer weather.

Few questions for those who have one:

- There is a hole for a screw on both sides of the lip, but they don't line up to anything. I assume the supplied screw bracket is used for these, but I don't see where they line up. What did you guys do to use this screw hole?
- Is the fluid tank suppose to be exposed like that once the lip is on? Will it be an issue during winter time when there is snow and salt?


What should I screw into?

Resevoir exposed

Provided bracket, one for each side


Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

Looks like you need to remove that honeycomb trim plastic and it should attach like this and reuse some the oem hardware.

Let me know if you need anything. Also PM your VIN so we have it for record and can send to them. Helps with the database on fitment.

" It uses the OEM bolts and Clips. If they are missing a philips screws as seen on your products picture. It uses M6 size screws. *it screws should be with the products but if not please use M6 size screw and bolts and clips are re-use from OEM."
