2 things: 1) PLEASEE WEAR SOME PROTECTIVE GOGGLES if you are gonna have your face directly under as you did 2) Drill Pilot holes for future upgrades if need be
OMG. I have the same lip. I have pretty much all the parts you have lol. I'm not installing mind until spring and summer. Yep she has two outfits lol. Love your channel and your DIYs. It helps me a lot. I had a 2010 g37s upgraded to a 2015 Q50s. Love the car.
Hi do you really need to take the bunper off to get that bolts and nuts tighten up? Can you just take off that plastic engine cover at the bottom to have access to that lip of the bumper? I will be doing this mod just waiting for the parts.. thanks
MrRainnnsss you don’t need to take off the bumper but it is easier that way 🙂 you can just take the plastic cover off like you said but the reason I took the grille off is because I was also removing my grille
hey man, did you ever end up doing this? I don’t want to take my bumper off, was it easy to take off the engine cover and just do the bolts from under the car?
@@abdullghoriO1 you do NOT need to take the bumper off. Take off the underside splash shield, and when you have the car up you will have access to the backside of those bolts. Also, you should use large washers for additional support.
Go to AMS website and look at the installation instructions for the heat exchanger. Scroll down to the section about the bumper cuz you gotta take it off for that. Off the top of my head jack the car up, take off the under tray, remove the screws holding the bumper to the wheel well, inside the wheel well I think there's a tab connecting the bumper to the rest of the body, then by the headlights there are 2 bolts each side connecting the bumper to the body, remove those then carefully remove the bumper. Push down from the top near the headlights to remove that portion because there's a little tab holding it in. Just be careful and have patience so you don't snap anything. None of it requires much force to remove or reinstall.
Ahh shit unfortunately yes there’s different lips. There’s a premium one and a sport one so you should look into which bumper you have (premium or sport) and buy again accordingly
Yessir! So here’s a few options: 1. Sell the sport lip that you accidentally bought and buy a premium lip which should technically be a little cheaper. Also, if you have the 1 piece sport lip these usually sell fast as they’re more rigid than the 3 piece. 2. A lot of people end up switching to a sport bumper down the line so you could just get the sport bumper right now since you already have the lip but that’s the most expensive option and not everyone does it so it comes down to whether or not you like the sport look better. 3. After you sell the sport lip and you don’t like the lips that are sold on the market then you could also make your own from black plastic. This is the least expensive option but it will take some time to make and cut the piece and so on. Also you might need a rotary tool for that But yeah that’s all I can think of right now, hope that helps 😊
I noticed your state has to have front plates, when you took it off. Was there holes needed to be drilled through the bumper in order to put the front plate on?
Did your lip come painted? Ironically I have the same lip as the link you posted (That I ordered back in January), but its not the same as the one you're installing and now I noticed that I want the one you have that wraps around the edges of the bumper around the wheel wells, so I can pretty much screw mines down like you did. Definitely dont feel like the one I have would stay on with just 3m tape, but hey I could be wrong. Either way, I'm getting the other version.
My lip did not come painted I made a video on how I painted it on my channel if you would like to watch that! The one I linked is the cheapest one I could find on amazon but it is not the one I got unfortunately. Good luck with installing!
Really enjoy your videos what year and model do you specially have if you don’t mind me asking plan on getting one within these next months and wanna know your input
Andre Mathewson hey man thanks for the kind words! The Q50 that’s on this channel is a 2015 fully loaded one with DAS. Idk if you noticed but I don’t do a lot of hp increasing type of performance mod because it would require a lot of money to make quite a bit more power on a VQ block. So that’s why I stick to appearance mods only for now. If you want to mod and gain hp/tq I would go with the 3.0tt VR motor as those are very mod friendly. Just be careful of the belts snapping once in a while though! If you wanna y’all more about it or have any other questions don’t hesitate to contact me on my Instagram @anish_nothoo 😊
Anish Nothoo awesome man thanks bro. Just to be sure those bolts are the stock bolts under the car? The splitter has holes for them to be put through correct?
George Drivas nono, I had to buy the bolts, washers and nuts nothing comes with the car. And the splitter didn’t come with holes so I just drilled through it
Anish Nothoo so you just drilled regular holes in then fed those bolts into them and tightened them up with the nuts? Sorry for all the questions broski but I wanna make sure I get it right
moNYTx ahh that will be during the summer if everything goes as planned 🤞thanks for watching! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to dm me on ig @anish_nothoo 😊

I’m having trouble installing mine. It seems to be too short on one side
Please show how you took the bumper off. I can't take mine off
Go to AMS website and look at the installation instructions for the heat exchanger. Scroll down to the section about the bumper cuz you gotta take it off for that. Off the top of my head jack the car up, take off the under tray, remove the screws holding the bumper to the wheel well, inside the wheel well I think there's a tab connecting the bumper to the rest of the body, then by the headlights there are 2 bolts each side connecting the bumper to the body, remove those then carefully remove the bumper.

Do you have the sport version/sport bumper?
yes I do, check out my recent videos for a cost breakdown
What size did you cut the front vinyl?
Jesse Lopez ahh I’m not sure man but I’ll make sure to post it up when I upload the video for the grille wrap, sorry about that 😫
Hey bro I recently bought a lip for my Q50 3.7 but it doesn’t seem to fit , are there different lips for the Q50 and Q50 sport?
Ahh shit unfortunately yes there’s different lips. There’s a premium one and a sport one so you should look into which bumper you have (premium or sport) and buy again accordingly
I believe I have a premium , and what’s the difference between these two? They all kinda look the same
The premium is more rounded whereas the sport is more aggressive near the bottom. Specially near the fog light area
Oh yes I noticed that it’s more rounded , could you help me by giving me some recommendations
Yessir! So here’s a few options:
1. Sell the sport lip that you accidentally bought and buy a premium lip which should technically be a little cheaper. Also, if you have the 1 piece sport lip these usually sell fast as they’re more rigid than the 3 piece.
2. A lot of people end up switching to a sport bumper down the line so you could just get the sport bumper right now since you already have the lip but that’s the most expensive option and not everyone does it so it comes down to whether or not you like the sport look better.
3. After you sell the sport lip and you don’t like the lips that are sold on the market then you could also make your own from black plastic. This is the least expensive option but it will take some time to make and cut the piece and so on. Also you might need a rotary tool for that
But yeah that’s all I can think of right now, hope that helps 😊
What kind of screws should I use?
Jake Fox get stainless steel ones so they don’t rust as bad, there’s still gonna be surface rust but it won’t be too bad
I noticed your state has to have front plates, when you took it off. Was there holes needed to be drilled through the bumper in order to put the front plate on?
Bradly unfortunately yes there are holes in the bumper :(
is this lip still holding up?
Did your lip come painted? Ironically I have the same lip as the link you posted (That I ordered back in January), but its not the same as the one you're installing and now I noticed that I want the one you have that wraps around the edges of the bumper around the wheel wells, so I can pretty much screw mines down like you did.

Hey wassup ! I have a question i bought the carbon fiber three piece lip but they sending the sport one instead of premium do you think it will fit ??
RoB.B Audemus hey! To be honest I don’t think so man. But that might be a good excuse to upgrade to a sport bumper 😂
That’s very true!!
I have a question. Do you HAVE to take off bumper for this?
Swish7Amaan no it’s just easier to take it off to install
Should have used some 3M two sided auto tape and you wouldn't have any gaps
Yup that’s 100% true I did that on my most recent install and there’s no gaps anymore
Should have put wide flat washers inside, but nice install.
Steven Lynch whole rip got ripped off even with washers
What silicone did you use to make the fitment flush?
Im not sure which brand I used but Ill make sure to link it in the description when I make a video about it in the next 2 weeks or so :)
Would a q50s lip fit a q70s I heard yes
I seriously doubt that

Did you have to buy those nuts you put on the other side of the bumper for the bolts? If so what size?
George Drivas ya I had to buy them as well. The size doesn’t really matter it just has to match the bolt :)
Anish Nothoo awesome man thanks bro. Just to be sure those bolts are the stock bolts under the car? The splitter has holes for them to be put through correct?
George Drivas nono, I had to buy the bolts, washers and nuts nothing comes with the car. And the splitter didn’t come with holes so I just drilled through it
Anish Nothoo so you just drilled regular holes in then fed those bolts into them and tightened them up with the nuts? Sorry for all the questions broski but I wanna make sure I get it right
George Drivas no worries bro but yeah that’s exactly what I did, lmk if u have other qs
You should post an edited video of your q50 now with the final product
Andre Mathewson not done yet but will do once I think I’m done nodding 😊
What software do you use to edit your videos??
I use Adobe Premiere Pro :)
So when you drilled underneath you drilled directly into the bumper ?
Swish7Amaan yup
Thanks bro car looks sick
Swish7Amaan thanks bro keep an eye out for the new video tonight :)
Anish Nothoo bettt. What’s ur insta?
Swish7Amaan @anish_nothoo but I didn’t really post a lot lately cause I had exams LOL
yo upload a how to take the bumper off just got my sport bumper and have no idea how to take off the bumper
Jacob Rodriguez I’ll try to ASAP when the weather warms up 😊
Anish Nothoo I recently got into an accident and need to replace my rear bumper, can you make a video on that too? Thanks!
Ryan Luong oh shit sorry to hear that man. I will see what I can do when the weather warms up
Is the weather warm where you are @anish? I’m trying to install my splitter too but don’t want to screw up the bumper removal lmao
The splitters are made to come off so the whole front bumper doesn’t go with it
Never taught about it that way ! 😅
Anyone tried do glue this (silicone), no screws?
Please do not attempt that
Hey bud, give mem how can I contact you?
Mridul HariDas hey man, you can contact me via Instagram @anishnothoo 🙂

moNYTx ahh that will be during the summer if everything goes as planned 🤞thanks for watching! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to dm me on ig @anish_nothoo 😊
Great videos! but you have to stop saying "basically" and "yeah" at the very end of every sentence.
