Default Question: Installing CTR Sides & Bumper/lip to Ep3

I was wondering... what's needed to install CTR sides. I'm confused by the 'tabs' that come on it. Also... do I need a "bumper support" to install the bumper? Help?

It would help if you had the bumper supports for safety. Everything bolts up though.

When I ordered my CTR bumper/lip it didn't come with a bumper support. Can I use the same bumper support that came with my ep3 and is being used with my stock bumper??

Also the thing i don't understand about the sides are what do you use to screw it onto the sides?

the jdm bumpers are shorter so the stock reinforcement bar won't work. it sticks out too much. and for the sideskirts, the ctr (can't remember what year) had them screwed in and i think a different year they had double sided tape. it would probably be in your best interest to get some 3m double sided tape instead of screwing it into the body panel.
