Blacktop Aero Front lip install ?s

I got my front lip a couple weeks ago but now im thinking to install it next week . The lip didnt come with instructions and the website dosnt have instructions either. It just came with a bag of nuts and bolts.
Does anyone have some helpful tips or experience installing this type of lips on the car. Its similar to the rexpeed varis type lip.
Thanks

it's pretty straight forward. the bottom lip portion that snaps onto the OEM bumper (middle plastic area) fits so well it nearly holds itself

best looking lip for the X imo

did you end up using the 20+ nuts & bolts that came with the package? Also did you protect the paint from your front bumber with some weatherstripping like someothers? Im guessing the lip leaves scratches on the bumper?? Any truth to this?

Thanks

not sure where and how you will use those 20 bolts as mine did not come with a single one. unless they changed the design which i highly doubt as that would mean changing the mould.

i reused the stock 2 bolts that you would need to remove to put the 2 brackets that are riveted onto the lip.

I don't think I got that many, maybe 4 bolts? all gold-colored. I just used them to replace the OEM ones where the lip overlaps the OEM bolt-in points (there's 2 on the lip

pretty much the layer becomes Bumper -> Undertray -> Lip. There are two bolt holes on the lip that line up. I didn't bother doing a write-up because it is really straight-forward
