Fitment is great if you install it properly which (IMO) is with nuts and bolts. I had so many issues installing this style of lip (My last one was from RW Carbon) on my previous car, tried like most people did, self tapping screws and 2 way tape but it ether slowly came off under high speeds or had a gap up front and wasn't perfectly flush with the bumper. This time around, took off the bumper, bought some squeeze clamps and could perfectly align it to the bumper's shape exactly how I wanted and keep it in place, then drilled my holes. Worked like a charm. A bit of a PITA I must admit to hold the nuts in the recess of the bumper for some of the bolts but I only take it off for winter season.
nicely done - the effort for proper fitment was achieved - looks great!
