Default How to install new front cobra bumper???

I just got a cobra front bumper which is pretty much the same as a stock gt. I got the old bumper off but how should i go about putting the new one on since it doesnt have the bolt things in it? Do I have to buy nuts and bolts for all the holes to install it?

i did that but the new cover has just holes in it without any bolts coming out of it like the old one. Like on the sides there are bolts coming out that go into the fenders. and then there are the rivets on the top that i drilled out. Do I replace these with bolts and nuts that i have to go out and buy?
