The lip may have already come with this, but you are going to need 3M double-sided tape. I would use stainless steel bolts/nuts/washers. I think 8-12 evenly spaced bolts would be good, and a bolt on each side of the fascia where the lip will wrap around the edge right in front of the tires (if necessary, not all lips utilize this surface). Consider using black-colored bolts, so they match the lip better. You may want to take it to a shop though if you've never done an install before, it's simple but also very simple to screw up.

I've got a Stillen that I'm going to install. I think the mounting is similar. I've decided I'm going to pull the bumper so I can work on it at counter height and get all the nuts & bolts just where I want them. Figure it would take about the same amount of time to pull the bumper vs. using jack stands.
