Help installing front lip

Hey guys i'm literally installing the kit right now and i'm a little confused. No intructions came w/kit so I'm basically guessing. On the front lip, would you think it is enough just to attach the screws on the sides (4 of them) or should I also bolt on the nine other hex screws that came with the front lip. The FAQ said I needed to use the Hallow washer for the sides, but I haven't and it seems to work ok. Did I make a boo boo? Please advise.

nm figured out the washer thing...but anyone know if the other bolts are required? Right now the kit is hanging from the 4 screws on the side.

Definately put the screws in. When youre driving you dont wont the thing to rip off and run over it. It only takes like 10 minutes to screw in the front lip.

:wow: SCREW THE DAMN THING ON!

come on now and think about it. When you are driving at highway speeds, there is gonna be an awful lot of air pressure on the front end of the car. Those mounting holes are there for a reason --- To hold the lip on.

'nough said.

Install all the screws on the body kits! Why would u wanna mess around like that? Installation of all screws provide even support thru out the kit's part, so there's no un-due stress on one side or one hole. I know it's time consuming (believe me, took me over 3 hours to install all the kits on my car, as I wanted to make sure not to "mess-up"), but it'll give u a peace of mind knowing that all parts are 100% correctly installed & secured...
