self tapping screws. I taped it to the bumper (because I did it solo) and started from the back and worked my way to the front. I've got it flush on the front but theirs about 1/4" gap at the ends (best I could do).

Just got some bolts with washers and nuts, predrilled the holes and bolted it on.

Easy install about 20 min.

yeah i tried it and had it flush but one side was to short. is the front suppose to be flush and have the side be a bit shorter? i wanna have the front flush so it looks even but didn't have a damn lift or jack in the presence. Oh well take 2 hopefully tomorrow.

if you are really worried about be exactly center here is an idea. First get some string or yarn and run it the length of the chin spoiler and cut it off. then measure that find out what center is on that measurement. second you will want to do the same on the bottom of the car and find center now match your middles and your lined up.
