My Brabus front and rear lip spoilers went on without a problem, since they just clip into existing body seams and use existing mounting holes.

He just needs to test fit them and if they don't fit well then take it to a shop. Test fitting should be easy, it is too bad he doesn't have enough confidence to try this himself with a buddy.

OP, this is something you can DIY. Tape off the ares the lip spoiler will meet the bumper with painters tape so you don't scratch the paint while test fitting. Place a blanket under the bumper (in case you drop the lip) and get a buddy to help position the lip spoiler. If it looks good, send it off to paint. If it loos bad, take it to a shop for paint and install.
