just got it on!! first i tried the double sided tape but it wasnt cutting it for me so i used that stuff called "plastix" to adhere it to the stock lip and used the stock screws with the clips in the back on either side, their not coming out unless the plastic cracks..plus some self tapping screws..the lip looks excellent and the fit was perfect
, cuz i heard those ebay lips are not that great..

i added some more support to the lip..i drilled two small holes toward the center of the underside and ran zip ties through them, then through some holes that are in that metal frame piece below the radiator and connected them back to the lip so the center of the lip is attached tightly to the frame of the car...we'll see if it holds up

it's good that your supporting the lip more, but still...
i had to say it, cuz i'm pretty sure it's not dark out anymore, so you have no excuses now

ive had that lip since the summer it hasnt flyed off or even budged like it happened to some people here. what i did was drill to holes on each side then used super heavy duty double sided tape from home depot to use on the middle of the lip.
