on trdsparks.com look for the gfx kit and at the top right it will have the instructions on how to install it, as for using double sided tape i don't recommend it for the rear because you really can't get it to stay, front isn't too bad.

you can get that rubber stuff at the dealer too, it's used so the lip doesn't scratch the bumper.

the front yes but the rear i wouldn't because a friend got his car back from a bodyshop with the rear lip without the tabs and it looked like it was falling off, had screws on the bottom yet the top was sagging.

just cut into the bumper Ben, then you can run super slammed 24/7. Leave the kit on, it'll look cleaner, if you scrape, then you scrape, its the name of the game. Thats why your tucked foo! lol hit me up if you need help installin' the kit
