I've got one here i'm sanding and painting now. How did you guys attach yours? Screws? Zip Ties? How high up is it supposed to mount? Pics or any help would be muchly appreciated.

cheers

I had a N2 Lip and my car was pretty low at the time so I had it mounted as high as possible, using the two air damns to sorta jam it. I used counter sunk screws and body putty on the underside to give it a bit of extra strength.

GL!

1 screw on either side of the lip,near the corners, drill the holes into the lip then just screw into the plastic how high u want it, then 1 behind the number plate, same as b4, drill fiberglass then screw into plastic, did it to mine and it aint goin anywhere.

Mine has tech screws along the whole length. Previous owner did it. But If I were to do it again. I'd probably get it glassed on, or just sikaflex it on and have a few tech screws just to strengthen it.

Mine I made some little brackets to attach them to my bumper. They're little zig-zag shaped metal brackets, so that they attach to the bottom-side of the lip and onto the stock holes witihin the bumper. They're all bolted on so that I can remove when I need to if I ever put my car on track.

Here's Pics...

Also, the top of the lip should line up to that lined groove at the bottom of the bumper. That's how the genuine OEM ones fit.
