Guys, PM me if you have any questions. It is pretty straight forward. You don't need the ramps, but it makes it a LOT easier. Make sure you hear the tabs click in place. To do this pull on the inside of the front lip where the tab is located and push on the slot of your front bumper.
I did this install last night and it went perfect on my first try. At first I was too gentle on pushing the lip and afraid I might break it so there was a small gap in between. Without a doubt, I pushed the lip using my palms and I heard a click. I did this on the other side and it snapped in place. Overall, it took me apprx 1hr including cleaning up. Thanks VikDiddy for the advice!

I just finished my install. Thanks to Vikdaddy the whole process took less than 30 min. It actually took me longer to drive up the Rhino Ramps and put on the jack stands than unscrew all 8 bolts and remove the OEM front bumper. Installing the GFX took no longer than 15 min once i removed it from the box. I can't believe anyone would pay someone to do this. It's easier than changing out the foglight bulbs.
