i put two screws on the inside of each wheel well to hold it. and i also used doubles stick tape (get the thickest u can find) along the inside of the entire lower shelf part that touches the original bumper. the fitment on the RS lips sucks- there will most likely be a gap between that lower shelf part and the black lower grill of your car. still- its tough to notice unless you look carefully. i didnt use my clips at all, couldnt figure out how to.

Isnt that a type B lip? Thats the same one i got. Fitment is ok, mine was tight as hell. I only used one screw on each of the inner wheel well. Other than that i really like the looks of that lip.

Yeah the front lip is a very snug fit. It probally wouldn't even fall of with out fastening it...but I do not recomment this. Just fasten the bolts and use 3M two sided tape.

those 2 brackets go in the middle of the lip, it just holds it up better. you should see 4 holes... you don't really need it unless you scrape a lot. mine didn't come w/ any brackets.

i used two screws on the inner fenders...3m double sided all weather tape on the lower portion of the bumper under the oem grill and two backstraps and screws pulling the lip onto the bottom of the stock bumper..i did it for better fitment and because it cant be yanked off without ruining one or the other or setting off my alarm

you cant see these at all. if anyone needs any of these brackets i have a few to sell the brackets that come with the lip are WAYYY too short to fit between the lip bottom and the bumper bottom..so i made my own
