Default RS-1 front lip installation help

Ok I just got my RS-1 front lip in and it looks good in the box. I really need any info there is bout installing it. It came with 2 almost z shaped brackets and that is what I a really wondering about. I am just looking for any help or guides to installing the lip. It came with the lip, 2 brackets, 4 screws and what looks like a small bolt or something.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How did the lip look I had first dibs until he told me he bought if from ebay hoping he bought it from racingsolution. I was kinda iffy about it then told him I'll pass on it. But man i was all over that deal. Lets see pics when you get it on.

I didn't use the brackets... didn't know how I would use it, basically 2 screws on each side plus double sided tape near the vent holes and the grill, make sure you do a good job at sanding it and priming it, unless it's already colored

yeah, it looks kinda iffy at some spots if it isn't placed right, the ones i think look best are the ones molded on

how exactly would you mold it on? Ive heard that phrase so many times..


Does it have to do with heating...then "molding"?

yeah I am gonna see how much it would cost me to get this one molded on instead of just installed on there. It will look way better that way. Make it look almost like it came stock like that. ha ha OMG i can't wait to get it on and get some pics up.
