Bought these - help with installation?

Hey everyone, as an alternative to a front CF lip for Non-M sport bumper (I have sport line), I bought these for $170 US.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252019353874...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I attempted installation today, but realized the pre drilled holes on the parts did not match with the front bumper screws. On the ebay website it says screws or 3M tape, but no further instructions.

They look pretty sweet with Dry fitted, but wanted to see if anyone has these, or any experience installing them, if so, help! Thanks in advance.

Just dry fit it, drill your own holes underneath into the bumper using your new pieces as the template, and use these expanding plastic rivets. You can also find similar ones at Lowes or Home Depot

Might not be a bad idea to also use 3M trim adhesive for extra support as well.

I recently acquired a set of these, did you have to remove the existing bolts under the bumper to install these? I noticed mine will not sit flush with the bumper because the bolts were in the way.
