Default Boss 302 splitter install?!?

Anyone have a writeup on the install or pics of the install? My 302 splitter got here yesterday and I wanted to install tomorrow after class, but the Ford Racing instructions suck as usual (gt500 fuel pump directions were HORRIBLE) so I was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips. I searched a few times and couldnt find anything so I figured I'd post it.

I am also re-installing my roush side splitters from my 2010 but those are easy.

I don't know how anyone installs the splitter with the car on. I wouldn't install it with the CS/GT front on the car, it leave too much room for error, especially when drilling the holes.

Once off you car, put the silver rivets (whatever they're called) on the bumper, use them a place holders for drilling. This is much easier then trying to mark on the bumper where your going to drill. Not sure if that was clear but I hope it helps.

When I did the install, I took off the whole front bumper to do so. It was the only easy way to do it in my opinion. Keep searching google since there are some how-tos out there, I know I used one to install mine (can't remember where I found it though), but the basic idea is to line up the splitter on the bottom of the GT/CS front, then I used a white market to place dots through all the holes in the splitter where you'll need to drill. Then you need to drill something like 3/8" holes through most of the fascia, potentially needing a smaller bit for a number of the holes as well. Then just start plugging away with the screws etc and put the whole bumper back on.
