+1 on the painters tape. I did it myself, but had to go back and forth to get it lined up. Painters tape is light on the adhesive, but the trade-off risk is that when the chin spoiler torques as you place it, the painters tape will pull off unless you REALLY strap it on there.

It took me 20 mintes from pulling out the tools to putting on the Armour-All to gloss it up.

CAREFUL when you park now... that parking berm will rip the thing right off.

I disagree with the parking berm ripping it off if you use wing nuts. I did some expensive testing on this.

My results concluded that the bumper rips off before the chin spoiler does. If you want pictures to prove it I can provide them, lol.

Whatever bolts you use make sure they are stainless steel. I used bolts, washers and nuts in the places where I could reach both sides of the hole.
This is across the front and halfway down the sides.
I used the push pins for the rest.
Drill a hole slightly smaller than the directions say.
Get a few of those clamp things the home centers sell to hold the thing in place while you drill. They look like jumper cable clamps without the sharp teeth.
Painters tape is also good.
Whatever you do don't use duct tape if you are doing this in the sun because you will have a gooy mess. WD-40 gets duct tape goo off pretty good FWIW.

Good luck!
