04-06 A-Spec Install Help Please

Hello Guys New member here and have started mods already. I just baught a used A-spec front lip off ebay for $130 but doesnt have any hardware. I have tried a bunch of searches and found acura doesnt sell the hardware. There were a few who said they done it with out the hardware. Being a newbie how can i put the a-spec on without the hardware? I know the bottom is just 10mm bolts, but what about the center "post lock" and the ends where it goes in the wheel well mount to with out that bracket. Also is it best to take bumper off? I seen one meber did and one didnt on my searches. Any help would be great. My other mods turned out great to az iv done the ebay spoiler leds interior and cup holders so far

Kit should have the hardware, especially the brackets as it would save a lot of trouble.

I tried the dealer but they dont offer the hardware you have to buy the whole kit. But i figure there has to be a way im sure these things break wear or something so that someone may need it to replace it.

tried them also to get the brackets you have to order under spoiler lip kit. You can purchase the screws and plastic clips though.

Mount it on there, get under the car and start drilling. You should be able to secure it with a few well placed nuts and bolts.

Actually it is. You need the bracket for the sides will fall/droop down. You can try really high strength tape on the sides and it will hold it up. Try to make your own bracket. The bracket goes into the wheel well and acts as a lip to hold up the a spec. Maybe a 2 inch screw with a spacer in the middle?
