that's the aero lip. 5 screws at the bottom and 3M tape.

Tons of threads on the topic, including pic-by-pic installation instructions. You should try a search sometime...you'd be amazed at what you find.

probably the simplest mod...you might need a jack tho, it helps alot.

ders 5 8 mm screws you take out...fit the lip onto the bumper with 3m double sided tape on the corners and then screw them back in.

although you should note that, i had issues getting the first and last ( on the ends ) getting them screwed in so i used another screw that was longer.

good luck, youll love it...

It's easy. Just use some scissors to trim it to the right size, and an Elmer's glue stick to stick it on there. Then duct tape as necessary.

Where's the pic by pic installation instructions? I've done a search with "aero lip installation" and "front lip installation" and can't find. Although, it sounds very simple, I'd still like to see pics. I'm having mine painted on Thursday and will hopefully pick it up on Friday.
