They use factory mounting points, going to install mine tomorrow. I talked to Hugh about it too and told him about hardware missing, he informed me that it just uses factory mounting hardware. I'm assuming its the push pins or pop pins whatever you want to call them underneath the car. I'll let you know how it goes, I'll be installing mine tomorrow.

Got the lip installed today, I was going to finish it yesterday.

However ran into a few issues. I had to go get pop rivots (1/2" pop rivots) from Lowes. Originally I measured holes on the lip to be 3/8" or 8mm. So I originally bought 7/16" pop rivots. Those were no good to be since the holes on the bumper measured 1/2" in diameter. So I had to re-drill the holes on the lip to 3/8" to fit the new 1/2" pop rivets. You'll need a total of 6 1/2" pop rivets

The only good thing was that holes lined lol.

I used ALOT of 3m double sided tape (model #03614) to get tightly on there, I used the whole roll just in case (all 15 ft). The lip doesn't quite fit evenly on the car. One side sticks out a tad bit more than the other. Also used blue painters tape to hold up the lip to align the holes.

Other than, it looks great. I'll post pics in few once I get them ready.

It's the CF one, it's not bad for a lip. I really like it, it doesnt lower the vehicle but its a simple addition.

better picture

Yeah I was thinking of going that way too but the pop rivets seem pretty stable. I was actually discussing it over with my brother to use nuts washers and screws.

But I was committed already, we'll see how it holds up lol
