Here are pics of my setup. I've had these for about 3-4 months, and no issues so far.

@DCoolBeans: Not sure. Had a local shop install them for me. I can take a look tomorrow.

@LiLS: I also ordered mine from AutoTeknic. I got the ABS plastic with the CF overlay.

most likely a bunch of screw on the bottom. Its super easy to install. no need to take it to a professional. only hard part for me is to make each side identical

A drill template is the easiest way. Make a template for the diffusers, and for the bottom of the bumper and line up the holes. Don't try to line up the diffusers with the bumper and drill.

And obviously removing the front bumper will make the task a hell of alot easier.

Pics look nice, I think I won't sell my set anymore, I'll install it!

As people have mentioned already, stay away from the ABS version, the full carbon fiber is the way to go. Mine is really thick and won't bend at all!

Took a look earlier today and saw that the each splitter was attached to the bumper underside through a series of nuts/bolts and self-tapping screws, at nine points on each flipper. Based on this, the overall feel is a very secure fit. Also, I don't believe any two-sided tape was used.

Also, found another pic from the side, from a moderate distance.

Looks pretty clean. You just have to measure right and make sure both sides look as close as possible to one another.
