The two center screws are removed from the car with a torx wrench and they are replaced with longer countersunk screws to mount the lip utilizing existing holes. The rest of the holes in the lip are predrilled and come with self tapping countersunk screws that just drill into the bottom of the bumper. I did it with the car on a lift to make it easier and just used an electric screwdriver with a low torque setting so as to not strip the holes. It took all of 5 mins!

Looks nice. After looking at your car with it, it almost makes it look like something is missing in the last photo where car doesn't have it.

The standard bare plastic finish on the Lightweight is still a nice finish though. More of a satin black.

I live in Germany and actually had Mark the owner of Lightweight Performance install it onto my vehicle almost a year ago. If you are looking for a solid splitter with almost bulletproof durability then this may be the one for you. Check out his M4 on track using both front and rear diffusors/spoiler @ http://www.lightweight-titanauspuffanlagen.de/.
