I got my screws from Home Depot. They were really long with an oversized, flat, flush head. They were allen key bolts as well. Worked perfect!

Thanks man, what size were they approximately? It came with screws and washers, but I don't think they are long enough.

They were at least 3 inches long. They come in a pack of 2 or 4, if I remember correctly. You can't miss them, if you go to Home Depot and go into the screw section. The big, round, flat head with the allen key head is a dead giveaway.

Ok, thanks man, will go buy these tomorrow. Also, did you use washers and other pieces to give a stronger hold.

Did you need to take the bumper off to have a perfect fit, or did you just raise up your car and install it onto the bumper. thanks

I had to raise the whole car, and take out the front two wheels. It took me and another guy to fit it. Hmmm.. I would say its not perfect, but you definitely can make it an even fit on both sides.

Yes i know, very unclear... but don't know how to explain it further. I do have posts of after i installed it. Check it out in one of my topics and u can see the fitment.
