Which one did you buy? I have the low budget Mariah dam and it simply attaches with self-tapping body screws and non-metal washers.
You have to do a little sanding to get it to fit right, and mine needed some fill in some areas as well. Other than that, piece of cake.

You ordered the mode four ?? good choice. To install the piece first remove the front bumper/cover and the lower gravel pan, everything from the bumper down.
it's a good idea to lift the car so you can get under it, your going to have too really. Then remove the metal bumper,,The two bumper 'shocks' are going to have to be cut off where the old bumper bolted up to and two holes per side drilled. that bar thats in the box is your new bumper,it's not much but thats it.
On each side two large bolts (that come with the kit) hold the front end on the car
and two braces hold the lower area right in front of the wheels. it takes awhile to install the cutting takes the most time IMO. i would also add some rubber 'washers' around all the bolts that touch the fibre glass, 'shock' mounting
because you know rigid mounting fibre glass to metal will crack the fibre glass. you will also have to trim the sides, the part is scribed where to cut/trim don't go nuts and follow the directions in the box. if you get stuck,stop and re-read the directions or just ask for help, cool ?
