They always look black in pictures, hard to really show how good they look in person. Best pic I have right now...

they look pretty good. it looks like a good shade of gunmetal. Do you got pics of them a little further back with both headlights.

i have no idea how this is going to hold in the middle, it only came with 4 screws. how is the middle going to hold? i can't screw some screws in the middle because the tab is on the bottom of the lip and not the top. how is this going to work?

I'm assuming this is the top, with no tab in the middle

2 screws on each end and double sided tape between the lip and bumper

Find ANY screws, throw some holes in the tab on the underside. They wont hurt anything. They'll go through the bottom of the bumper and no one sees that.

Either that, or remove the bumper, take it inside, install the lip, then put some holes in the middle underside with a drill and put bolts on it to be more secure so no one will steal your isht.

the picture with the tab on top is for a 96-98. The 99-00 tab only mounts on the bottom.

and +1 on just throwing a few screws in it. The other option is that you could use some rivets to make it more permanent.

I agree, if the tab on the bottom is able to be bolted into anything. I wasn't sure if it was... when I had the "mugen" lip on my del Sol it had a tab on the bottom but it didn't touch any part of the bumper so I couldn't use it to secure it.

You can also buy spacers and longer screws if needed. But I have heard the tape works pretty well.
