Default Just got Roush Stage 3 front fascia, Installation help!

Ok, I just picked up my Official Polyurethane Roush Stage 3 front fascia and it has like screw tabs where the fascia meets the fender by the wheel well.
Am I supposed to try and drill? They basically tuck under the fender (on the top part). In the installation instructions, it doesn't mention what you should do with the tabs, there are two tabs on each side.

Anyone else buy a Roush Stage 3 front fascia kit and run into this? I haven't yet started the installation, just trying to tackle any obstacles before I get to them.

Thanks.

Have you taken off your stock bumper? If not I would just wait because the stock bumper has them also. Just reverse how you take the stock bumper off.

Yeah. You will see when you take your bumper off. The stock bumper is attached to the car with 4 ( I believe) screws right behind the front quarter panel. I pretty sure I remember it being a pain to get to also.

yeah take some pics.... Your lucky and im jealous. I want a roush front bumper... My saleen came with nothing for any of the mounting points... Well there are two metal brackets each go one go on one side. They are rivited on the stock bumper and then have two studs in them so you can bolt them to the fender... I am not sure if they just give you the holes as to where to mount the bracket or they actually supply the bracket.

Your gonna need a rivet gun to put the bracket on the new bumper. If you have a friend who can help it makes it easy. My friend and i did it in a half hour start to finish. There 2 nuts that hold each side on. Pull away the mud guard and you should be good (use friend here). You my scrach your arm a lille but its worth it. Oh yeah you are gonna need a tool to get the horse off. I pulled mine and just put black mesh behind it cause my car is dark green. I was going for the 68 bullitt look. Good luck to ya.

If you have a rivet gun, then just use rivets to secure the tabs to the bumper. If not you can just buy some smaller nuts and bolts to secure them.

After the tabs are secured you can the secure the bumper to the inside fender.
