theres two screws that go in the fenders...........there should be a dimple on the bumber to mark where they go......and there are some metal connection pieces on the lip that you have to line up and then drill a hole for a bolt to go through and attach........i put the screws first and then made the holes and bolted it in as i went...........i didn't bother taking off the bumper to install the front lip..........but i know it makes the install easier........

one screw in each fender.........and i never counted but about 7 or more pins under the front bumber.........the plastic thats under the car........and then you to remove a plastic cover that covers the radiator support in the engine bay to get to the pins that hold the grille in place.........but believe me its easy to install the lip with the bumber on.......I did like this because i had already removed my front bumper to clear out my headlights, and figured it was easier and it was.........just remove the pins from under the front of the bumber and reach in and attach the bolts.........

well guys...
i installed the front and rear bumper
i had some trouble with the rear bumper as i could not get the bolts supplied to stay on the bumper in the little hold provided.
it is stable on there right now but will eventually need some tightening up in the rear since not all the bolts are screwed on.
the sides gave me problems and i have yet to install them ..

i just did my sides last night.

1. remove for screws from bottom (if need pry out with flathead)
2. pull out back end of stock skirts a little bit
3. while holding it out, have friend force the skirts up towards front of car, it should pop right out when thats done
4. remove all the white screw taps from the car and place them in the new side skirts (make sure they click in)
5. force side skirts in while aligning taps with holes in car.
6. punch skirts in so they are in good
7. screw back four screws in


FUCKING SHIT, just read u finished it. haha

going to buy hardware to do my front tommorow.
