It's drilled/clipped on the bottom, my guess. Drill them in I suggest.

I just did this last Friday. You have to cut slits into the bumper. I used a drill and a jigsaw to make the slits. Then once I got all the slits cut I put the extension/gfx on the bumper then I drilled holes and put in the screws. Not hard at all.

If you look at the groove on the bottom of the stock non HighSport. That is where you want to cut you *****.

The ground effects aren't hard like stated above..

If you have the bowtie headrests, I would NOT touch them, if your GF can sew then have her sew some normal leather headrests how you want them. The bowties are rare and worth a good amount of money.

If you are gonna sew something in the headrests then dont do it on the bowtie ones. theyre rare and alot of people would pay a good amount to have them, like ME! if your whole car is white you should paint them white with some pearl in them. itd look awesome on your car!
