Front Lip install
 
So i got my type r style lip in the mail and they only sent four screws to be used to attach the lip to the bumper on either ends and to me it seems like it would be much safer to buy extra hardware for under the bumper as well? any help would be great

I have it two screws on each side and a little double sided tape in the center. My 2 cents.

just regular like 3M tape???

It'd cost you a dollar for 4 more screws at a hardware store.. buy some tape and buy some extra screws.

What I did when I had an eBay lip is I used 2 screws on each end as intended and then in the middle I used 3, and some of those speaker clip things that are made for self-tapping screws on the other side to tighten it down nice and tight.

i originally used the four supplied screws in the middle, then the lip started to droop so i put two screws in each end and the lip's been perfect since

I also totally recommend using two on each side, then at least 3 on the underside of the lip. Closer to 5 perhaps. My lip could have been ripped off a few times if I didn't have all the screws through it.
