Did you get a bag with screw, rivets, tape, and instructions ?

Well basically you wanna put tape on the top of the lip so it will go around the bumper. Then you can either use rivets or screw it in the fender on the sides.. I would use rivets so someone just doesn't unscrew the lip and rip it off..

Just make sure the surface is clean and dry.. Use some primer on the double sided tape too so it can stick better.. Also test fit it first and make sure it looks ok. It'll make it easier to install so you know exactly where it will go to sit flush.

I'm not sure where it was, perhaps maximadriver.com (but not sure) that specifically said not to use the tape unless you live in dry areas such as Arizona, etc. Winter conditions will have bad influence on the tape or something of that sort. Anybody else hear of that? I'm very serious.

really? i think i might of saw that on Maximadriver.com but the site is down so ican't check it. But i live in LA and is always sunny here so i guess is ok.

I need to know how many screw goes on each side of the fender? what about the bottom of the lip or the bottom front?
any suggestion?

1 rivit or screw into the sheet metal of each fender. Pre drill this hole in both the lip and fender edge. As for the front lay underneath and pop a few screws into the middle if you want.

From my experience, The tape is not really for the front. Use the tape on the sides in the door jambs thats it.

Just screw through the middle underneath into the stock bumper cover. It will tighten up the small gap you see.

Its not rocket science but it is trial and error until it fits to your personal liking. After all, your the one that gets to run it over if it falls off

I used 3M double sided tape and one screw on each end. One of my friend just use tape all around the lip and she hasn't have any problems. Both of us are in Mass.
