I tried looking on eBay, you sure its an aimgain replica?

you could try the double sided tape, I've used it on OEM f sport front lip on my non f sport 2is. It held together great, never drooped. b

there was no heating instructions

this is the exact one i bought

Sorry to revive old thread, I just installed my rep one from ebay as well.

The lip came with 6 mounting clips which lined up with factory screws. It wasn't enough to hold the lip in place, so I screwed 6 self tapping ones., mainly towards the front of the lip to make it more flush.

I have the agree that fitment is decent, but not perfect. If you really look hard, you can see that it doesn't line up exactly with the front bumper.
