Removed the plastic and it was in perfect condition. Phew. Maxton replied back to my concerns promptly and advised to remove the plastic.
Install took me about 3 hours total. 914er’s instructions were pretty spot on. Don’t use the hardware it comes with, it isn’t long enough in most places to get through lip and oem bumper cover. I managed to secure a bolt in the three center pillars to make sure the center was tight. Did not use glue as I’d like to be able to remove this lip if I need and salvage the bumper. My hardware store did not have the nut plates so I had to squeeze me hand in there, use a wrench and hold the nut in place. That is what took the most time but I did it. Looks like it could be an OEM lip and very clean. Very satisfied and tired.
