its pretty self explanatory, i put mine on with no instructions.

btw, buy it on ebay. it'll be a lot cheaper. that site wants $630 for the front lip which is just stupid.

also, if you buy it new, it'll come with instructions.

its pretty much 6 bolts that go through the front bumper. and then sticky double sided 3m tape.

very easy.
take off front bumper.
remove screws that retain stock air dam (i think it's 4 plastic tabs and 2 metal screws)
drill holes for the 6 bolts (they're premarked with a X on the inside of the bumper)
I believe it's a 7 mm drill bit
Line it up, take off the 3M tape. Tighten bolts with the 6 nuts provided and reinsert the 4 plastic tabs.
Make sure the 3M is stuck on tight. Reinstall bumper.

This would be a good time to add Racing Beat oil cooler & condenser screens.
