Default Front lip installation? HELP!

Going off to college in a matter of weeks and of course I have to bring my baby along with me
My question is, has anyone installed the Bayson R (JP Visage rep) lip on their ISx50? When it came in the mail, all that was included was the PU lip and hardware, NO instructions.. Kinda stupid. But does anyone know how to install the lip to the front bumper correctly? If so, please help me out. Thanks!

i just did mine today, i used the screws to secure it to the fender and hot glue to stick it on so no one can just rip it off. you can be creative and taps a few screws here and there until your comfortable it cant be snatched off so easy. other than that two way tape will hold it down just as good with 2 screws at each fender wells

yea. use 3m double sided tape on the top of the lip and put the screws on the ends of the lip. its pretty simple. just make sure both ends are in before the tape in the front sticks to the oem lip.

Clean and dry your front bumper off real good. Test fit the lip first then Use a adhesion promoter spray on the front bumper and the inside of the lip. Put 3m double sided tape on the inside of the lip and then put it on your car. Having another helping hand would be best with this part to properly fit your lip. Once its secure fasten all the screws that were provided and you're good to go.
*forgot to mention to ensure proper fitment when putting it on move from right to left or vice versa don't start on the middle and going out you don't wanna mess up and have to get more 3m tape. Also press firmly and hold for few seconds as you're moving along.

if you want 100% flush, take off the bumper and drill some holes ( 2 on each side) 3 throughout the middle.

then use 3M tape

I did my lip yesterday, not the same brand but i literally just used the hardware that was already in my stock front lip, its sits with perfect fitment and it VERY sturdy. I dont think body adhesive or hot glue are going to stop someone if they are going to go through the trouble of removing all the hardware IMO.
