You need 10mm socket.

I think its the same as on evo's ...10mm on both sides -front fender, 2 clips, 10mm in the middle. and few clips - not sure if you guys have undertrays, if you do take all the clips out from the bottom- thats it, pretty simple.

it bolts to the bumper... but when they get hit or caught on something they rip the mounting tabs loose from the lip itself... Double sided tape is your friend

Yea I have that same problem with the rear lip, just toss some 3M double sided automotive tape on it and you're golden.

might be a layer of wax on the paint you're trying to mount it to... run some degreasing (non-ammonia based) dish detergent over it and wash it down. Apply the tape let it sit for like 30 min then rewax the area that the soap touched.
