Go to bunnings or a hardware store and buy long screws and either some spacers or lots of washers. Simply screw through the underside of the lip, put washers/spacers between the bottom of the lip and the bumper and screw through.

------- bottom of the bumper
///// a layer of washers/spacers
------- the lip
Then run a screw through all of it.

Prop the front half of your car up and get a friend to help hold the lip in place while you fit the lip.

That make sense. If not let me know and I can help some more.

i get what you mean, so fill the gap behind the lip with washers? and get one mega long a** screw to put it all together? would there then be a tiny bit of the screw, either the screw head or the other end hanging past the lip a bit?

hm wat lip are you talking about? im guessing a 96 model CTR lip?

if so..

there are screw under the lip which bolts onto your bumper, if not drill them yourself. the lip itself should 'clip on' your bumper even without the screws. they should also be two screws on each end of the bumper lip which need to be screwed in to your bumper. (in the wheel guards)

George, he has a replica lip mate from the description so no hardware.

Thats what I am saying. At the bottom you just have the screw head showing, so just make sure you put them towards the back of the lip so it is not easily seen and then use some touch up paint so that they are body coloured.

yea i know he had a replica, but shouldn't he still drill some holes on the side to make it hold?

hey gbang007 , get some superglue they use at the panel shop and just stick it on. sexy and easy as hell.

I'm gonna install it in my EK1 as well.
Does the double sided tape really Hold? Sounds really simple, yet I would kick myself if the lip falls out on the freeway.
