S14 kouki jdm aero lip mounting options

I'm looking for a proper list of the mounting hardware needed to install a jdm kouki aero lip for an S14. I've found a parts diagram, but unfortunately no part numbers for which screws and clips and such. Before the forum went down I recall someone who was selling a kit of installation hardware, but I can't seem to find it on the search. Does anyone have a jdm kouki aero lip installed and have the parts needed to do it? It's basically some some screws, clips, 10mm bolts etc, but i'd like to get a kit or list before just going at it with a bucket of screws. thanks!

When I installed mine I just went at it with a bucket of screws, haha. I did use some thin aluminum stock to make those stock wide-U shaped brackets that are on the sides and at the front post.

The only "trick" I can think of is to get a bolt and bracket used for the side skirt end caps and use that to "pinch" the edge of the bumper. Basically the lip wraps around too far to put a bolt directly into the bumper from the wheel well side, so the bracket is more like a clamp at that point.

ok thanks for the tips. Yes I have the lip already. It's a legit OEM one and not a repro.

For the center grill upper holes on the lip (not the ones near the ground, but the ones that thread in on the inner side of the "fangs" that stick out of the lip), you have to put holes in the bumper right?

I know where the U-shaped brackets are supposed to go, I just don't see how they're supposed to attach without also drilling a hole in the side of the bumper. I've looked at the factory service manual drawings and they're not really any help either.

I have an OEM one as well, I'll check and see if I have pictures since I recently put the car back together after getting it back from the paint shop.

There are large holes in the bumper for those "posts" on the lip, 6 total. Like almost 1" holes. Two on either side of the grill opening, then two each on the sides. The U-shaped brackets would go on the inside of the bumper. They act as kind of a spring to pull those posts/nubs closer to the bumper. Use short screws here so you don't poke thru the front of the lip.

Then there are two holes on the inside of the grill open, very top of the lip, should be self explanatory when you look at it. I used a regular M6 bolt with a nut.

The other two holes are along the front edge at the bottom "corner" of the bumper. These might be a challenge to line up and drill correctly. They would take an M6 bolt.

After those bolts, should be a handful of coarse trim screws along the bottom, then the 4 trim screws + clamp along the back edge in the wheel well.

I used double sided tape also in the OEM spots: front vertical edge kinda near the foglights, then some of the wide stuff on the inside bottom of the bumper opening.
