Default Any pics of front bumper ground effects (air dam) installation?

Has anyone installed the front spoiler themselves? Curious to see some pics of the install process, as well as what is meant by the "front bumper spoiler" in the instructions? Seems to say that:

Front Bumper Spoiler = Stock front end
Front Bumper Ground Effects = Air Dam that comes with x-package and ground effects kit

But I'd like to see pics of the process...

you just unscrew the stock one and screw on the new one. i removed the stock brackets from the sides and replaced it w/ 3M. before anyone calls it mickey mouse.. let me say that the brackets that come w/ the gfx kit is held on by 3m tape.. little 3m tape at that. so i feel that putting on a longer strip of 3m is much more efficient...oh and much less time consuming

like ihkskim said it isn't that hard. the most time consuming thing was doing the drilling but all the holes are pre-marked so it isn't bad at all.

ihkskim- i saw a post on ihkskim on nsxprime regarding the red NSX that's for sale. just wondering if its you or not. did you check out that NSX?

Do you have to drill? Or can you just use some extra 3M tape?

i think ihkskim did not do any drilling in the installation of the oem groundfx kit. everything is held on with added strips of 3m tape.
