You are going to have to fit one side then push in hard on the other side to pop it in. Fitment is super tight. The only logo is is the stick on C-West badge that most put in the middle area of the lip.

with mine i had to jack the front of the car up and then tilt the lip down and hook the sides into the wheel wells then flip it up and it fit on there really tight...you might want to tape up the sides where it hooks on

you have to take the bumper off and bend the bumper to fit inside the lip...DO NOT bend the CF...bend the urethane bumper instead...a little extra work, but it'll work

BINGO!

don't do what others said. You'll scratch your bumper to sh*t.

Just take your front bumper off, bend THE BUMPER to fit to your lip. You'll probably need an extra hand if you got a buddy handy.

Take off your bumper, I fitted mine with the bumper on and scratched up my paint pretty bad.
