CF wind splitter install tips?

Hey guys, I'm gettin all antsy and gearin up for spring. I've got me a carbon fiber lower wind splitter (the big sheet that goes under the bumper) and the stabilizer rods arrived this week. As soon as the snow is gone for good I'm gonna be installing this dealie. I know there are a few members on here who have a front lower splitter installed, I was wondering if you have any install tips for me. You know, things like what you used to attach it to the bumper, how to measure a spot for the stabilizer rods, stuff like that. If you guys have any pointers I'd like to hear/read them. Thanks!

Was BuddyClub able to help you out with the stabilizer rods?

Best thing to do is to make sure that the lip stays perfectly parallel with the ground and the stabilizer bars I think need to be at about a 45* angle to the lip/car. Basically, like a right triangle.

Dude! I talked to my little brother earlier. Trying to get him off his *** to try and help me install my coilovers at least this weekend. I still got to get my front end fixed before I can even install my kit. Gotta get it painted and installed. BuddyClub never sent me any mounting hardware for the kit either...
