The rear lip is 4" and the front is 2.5"
Front: 20x8.5" - 25
Rear: 20x10" - 30
I will double check the offsets but I'm pretty sure that's what they are.

no. it's a PITA since it's tedious and takes patience because there's so many clips and a few nuts but otherwise on a scale from 1-10 I would rate it a 2.

Hey...did you take pix of how you taped up your valence for the plastidip? I just don't know how you'd take it up clean.

I actually used both painters tape and vinyl/electrical tape since it's flexible. So just make the original lines/curves with the electrical tape then lay the painters tape over the vinyl tape, then mask off everywhere else (exhaust, license plate, bumper, etc to protect from overspray.
