I did not use the black-piping (weatherstripping) because it just seems excessive. I still have it and I am still debating whether or not to use it. The reason I dont want to use it is because the black lines create a visual gap or separation between the body panels. I even have the weatherstripping for the over-fenders which I dont think I will use either. If you look at the JDM-rice car, I didnt like how you could see the black lines from afar.
I plan on installing clear bra on the contact areas to prevent direct contact and act as an insulator, especially on the overfender contact areas since they get a lot of wear.
To give you a heads up, the U-brackets appear to be spacers for the outer most sections of the lip, near the front wheel arch. The rest of the hardware is much like you would find on a G35, the "screw-clips" as I call them clip onto the lower section of the bumper and allow you to secure the lip with 10mm machine screws.
I feel like we're a dying or near-extinct species. Its bad enough folks are too cheap to spend money on a nice factory lip for their car, but when they do... then they give us advice to ZIP TIE the shit on. Seriously now................ what the fuck is wrong with people.
