according to your profile pics, you have the OEM lip kit. when I installed mine, I took the front lip off the car. i lined up the lip with the splitter and attached it with double sided tape. then I drilled 6 holes (3 on each side of the lip that connects) and attached with nylon lock nuts and bolts. reinstall lip afterwards. took me about 2 hours.

I eventually took it off because the support rods broke and the front center (where the APR logo is) got majorly F'd on the freeway.

its a bit hard to install it but you really cant drive past 80 on them.. i had one on mine did about close to 80 twice in a week and by the end of the week the center by the logo the bolts with the locks ripped out from the top and then it fell to the ground doing 80 and the sides gave out also took little bit of my bumper with it..
dont know how to load up a pic or ill show you my bumper..

wind speed wasnt a problem for me until the support rods broke. the support rods broke because I kept scraping the front of the lip going in and out of driveways. the rods just snapped. the bolts and washers were fine. no damage to my bumper.
