Default How are lips installed?

Stupid question but I was gonna get the type r lips front and rear and the mugen style side skirts from jdmsh!t.com but I was just wondering ahead of time how they are installed. Do they glue, or tape, or bolt? And when installing the sideskirts do they go over the stock molding or do they replace it? These are dumb questions but I dont know the first thing about body work. Thanks.

I know the stock lips come with clips and bolts that screw into the clips.

When installing a lip I just use Zip ties and/or 3m Double Sided Tape ( comes in a gray color roll)

all screws and bolts for me. 2 around the center...2 on the sides so that it won't stick out. make sure to paint the screws to match the color of your lip, so it looks more professionally done.

You know the Stock rear lip in the Civic Si, is the Type R lip the same as the Si rear OEM lip? or do I have to go buy the Si Rear bumper with lip included?
