Default Nismo Lip Installation Question

I got a used Nismo lip off e-bay...no hardware of course.. I have it prepped and ready for paint and was test fitting it today.....

For you guys that have this lip....are there some spacers that are used in the install? The center three lower mounting points are to far away from the underside of the bumper to attach. How is this lip attached?

? i dont have this lip but would figure you could use 2 sided trim tape(3m) on the upper portion, and put screws in the wheel well area?

I'm not sure that the center section of the lip contacts the center of the bumper. But I can try that.....there are two holes on the underside of the lip that line up with the bolts that hold the bumper. I used these holes today and the lip was pretty secure...add the holes in the wheel wells and it should be ok...just wanted to see if anyone with the lip knew if there was some special hardware that came with the lip that I am missing.

OK...well I found this after scrolling through 10 search pages.

Looks like the jerk I got the lip from cut off the tabs that go through the front of the bumper. The lip was craked on the side as well and held together with a piece of wire. I was able to fix it though with some urethane adhesive and a lot of sanding.
