Its got rivets only or a couple rivets and some self tapping screws?

My kit came with self tapping screws. You simply hold it in place with the push thru clips and then screw the screw thru the chin spoiler and the lower part of the bumper.

Its alot (alot) eaiser to do it with a friend, holding it all perfectly straight can be a nightmare by yourself.

i just installed mine the other day, i bought it from AM so it came with plenty of screws/fastiners. i used a 1/4in drill bit to screw into the bumper, i used every hole in the spoiler some people dont.

and yeah get a buddy to hold it while you tape it in place and especialy when your drilling, they can keep it lined up for you. i was taking me sweet *** time and it still took less than a half hour to do.

I did a nut and bolt combo. I taped the spoiler in place and the used a drill to drill through the bumper and then bolted it on.

yeah, bolted mine on as well. Definately make sure you have it where you want it before you start drilling.

I helped a buddy put one on his 03 about a month ago. We taped it up in the right spot on both sides and then put the screws in at the same time.
