Default Mounting and Installing a front lip correctly?

Just got my front lip in the mail, thing is that's all it came with. No tap screws, no instructions, just the carbon fiber front lip. This may to be expected but I still am not too sure on how to do body work and make it look good. What is the best way to go about tightly securing the front lip and making it look as clean as possible?

Would be greatly appreciated, mods if this happens to be in the wrong place I apologize.

if there's no mounting tabs on the backside of the lip, u probably can use double side tape. For the sides u can go to pep boys or autozone and they sell these fold over metal clasps for securing screws. Mount 2 of those on each side of the bumper and put some tapping screws into them.

Okay, what I did was:

Got my lip in the mail, with self tapping screws, no entry marks at all.

My brother and I put the lip on, it stuck enough to sit there.

We measured each side with a marking point.

There are two holes in your stock bumper(at least there are in my ej8) We put two bolts(We didn't use Non tapping screws in) those

Then on the bottom, we went ******* mayday with self tapping(about 6 of them)

Looks clean, Enjoi
