2 per each side, on the bumper. The part that face your front wheels.

I suggest you try to make some custom L bracket holder below centre of the bumper, so it won't sag over time.

If you can make an L or better yet, a U bracket out of thin metal, bolt one end to the bottom of the bumper, and the other to the bottom of the lip, I say 4 evenly spaced out should be good. OEM lip has like what, 8 of those spread out?

That goes the same for rear lips. I hope this helps.

Yo just mounted my brothers carbon lip on his hatch and we did the same thing, 2 screws on each side of the lip, near the tire. You may have to turn the wheel to the left and right to get a drill in there to drill a piolet hole first so you dont crack the fiberglass. When your done with doing that on both sides, prop up with middle with a shoe box or something so it dont snap. Got buy some self push in buttons, there cheap and spread the out underneath in 4 different spots and it holes it up better then ant other screw would underneath. Yo make sure you dont drill the hole to big for the buttons ok or it will be to easy to go in and you want it to go in very tight.. iaght man good luck on you lip.. hope it helps 1
