Default Attaching front lip

I'm going to get a Type-R front lip spoiler, and I would like to know how this thing attaches. I'm guessing adhesive, but is there a specific kind, or do they generally send it out with the lip? Just some questions I'd like to get cleared up.

well, at the ends of the lip there will be pieces facing inward, when you hold the lip up to your car you will no what im talking about, and you put a screw in each side to hold it to your bumper on the inside of your fender,heres a pic of my lip and were the screw goes in, i cercled the screw since its kinda hard to see, you might also want to put a bolt and nut on that to just incase some one wants to steal your lip or somthing, a screw is pretty easy to get out, putting the bolt and nut in is a pain, but its good security...and my lip dident come with adhesive, some do, some dont, you can just go out and buy some double sided M3 tape which is used for this kind of stuff, and put a strip on the top inside of the lip, and put the lip on, this will hold it firmly in place

..good luck

Well, I ducked in here because I'd like to get an exteneded lip on my civic, a deeper air dam to keep air out from under the body, and I did notice those tires--Yokohmama Pradas, aren't they? I had a set of them on my MINI, and they were great--quiet, incredibly sticky, pretty good in the wet, and looked intense. Good choice.

I'm looking for a rubberized air dam, similar to the stock lip installed on my DX, but I'd like something about twice as deep. Any ideas?

I had a vague idea of how to do put it on, but nothing really concrete. Thanks for the help
