yep, zip ties are the key.

Lots of bending of the original bumper. had to fold it a little (its flimsy, coz it been cut for the intercooler).

The Zenki lip has the factory plastic holes every 5 inches, use a drill, put holes in your factory bumper and tie strap tight, if theres slightmovement in the lip; when the lip scraps it will brake the tie straps.

Tie Straps are the KEY.

so theres no way to make it able to be put on and off?? ... like take it off for events where it will eat pavement... darn... I was going to look for the stock clips, but sounds like its not worth the effort.
Anyone use something besides zip ties?
