well i have just the front so all i can say is how to install the front. use the two supplied screws on each end and some mounting tape in the middle or wherever you feel you need it.

I'm installing my RS1 lip kit as we speak, got the rear and sides mounted on just not the front yet. I have absolutely no idea why brackets came with the kit. I see no need for them man. If I were you...just pretend like they dont exist lol. But hey does anyone have any problems with their RS1 front lip mounting on? I am having trouble with the middle of the lip mounting right where the lower grille is...it won't fit! like duz it go under the lower grille...like squeeze it in there? Cuz if it wasn't for that part, the lip would sit flush against the rest of the bumper. Help please. Thanks

The "L" brackets are for the rear lip... the shorter of the 4 are meant to be installed on the outer portion of the lip (1 on each side) .. Screw them into the lip and then into the rear bumper .. this helps keep it secure to the rear bumper... Same concept with the inners .. but I didn't use them when I installed my rear lip..

Some people have managed to get the grill to stay on with the front lip.. others have just taken it off.. or some have trimmed the flap on the front lip that gets in the way.. The front bumper that was used when making the kit did not have the grill so they didn't take it into consideration...

Front/sides.. Just some screws and you're set..
