when i did my seibon front lip, i basically cleaned the black plastic part on the front bumper, used double sided tape, and laid the lip on top. and used 2 self tapping screws on eachside and drilled into the fender liner, this worked pretty well for me

yeah as long as your screws on the side are secure ur lip should be good, mine stayed on even after i ran it into a curb and split it down the middle

If you have the OEM appearance lip you can mount that shine lip right over it...
