Dannis.. you've got a keen eye for detail
Yes! I do see those two screws in the front..

Should I use double sided tape too?

Two self-tapping screws at the ends of the lip nearest the wheels, and 3m double sided tape is what I've always used for lips.

And other will recommend this too.

Just did one of these yesterday on my ek hatch and boy is it a pain. Although mounted it was not easy because I had to stretch it and screw it in at the same time. It looks pretty good aside the fact that the ends that screw into the fender well do not line up perfectly. You can tell I had to stretch fit it, and the lip is about 2 to 3 milimeters from being flush on the back sides. One thing I recommend after doing this myself is to get a friend to help stretch and hold the thing otherwise you will have to guess where to attach one side than hope the other side will line up. Also I used 3m heavy duty double stick tape which in my opinion sucks *** so don't buy it. You dont need the tape.

Sorry for the long speach but hope this sheds light on the difficulty of this project.

Bump for any suggestions on getting the end corners trued up and squared off without killing the lip or bumper.

i sure hope you got that bad boy in urethane....or it will just be a waste. When i put mine on all i did was screw it on w/ about 6 self tappers. ABS breaks waaay to easily though so if it is abs id say send it back and upgrade to something alomost unbreakable. looks good tho once its on.
