Default 1996-1998 coups & hatches w/ SIR lip

Do you guys use the oem supplied hardware to put on your lip or do you guys use other alternatives like double stick tape and regular nuts/bolts and lock nut washers combination? My brother bought me an SIR lip for an early christmas present and it did not come with any hardware. Searched, and the cheapest i've found was upwards of $60.00 -$65.00 just for hardware. If there is a cheaper alternative, please let me know. THanks (post some pics if you can)

Cheaper alternative would be Home Depot.

Go to a local hardware store and buy I think they are called, U clips and the bolts for it. Don't use double sided tape for such a nice lip!

It kind of looks like this, but not exactly:

Aftermarket stuff will be much cheaper and you can make sure it won't rust.

lol did you see the prices of the things I posted? Yeah they might be a lot, but it is still cheaper than the Honda kit.

It's better to use these, they are very sturdy and makes it harder to take off.
