holy monkeys that lip is haggard... anyway, drill holes and ziptie it. there should be brackets at each end that will line up w/ the bolts on the fender. ziptie it there too. also it WILL NOT fit perfectly since it's made for a different bumper. so you'll notice that it sags in the front.

you're going about this the wrong way. wait till the bumper cover is on the car. you'll see how it fits. it's pointless now because the main mount points are on the fenders. if you still can't figure it out, there are PLENTY of pics floating around with zenki lip on chuuki bumper. then ziptie ziptie ziptie.

When we put an 89 lip on my friend's 91, we took off all the brackets and whatnot on the lip so it was just the lip itself.
The best way to fit it, is to do it with the bumper on the car. Jack the front of the car up a little (to give you some room to work with), then fit the ends of the lip to the fenders, secure them, then drill holes in the lip to attach them to the bumper with zipties or whatever.
It'll be obvious once you have the bumper on the car and are fitting the lip.

no. you don't understand. the zenki lip has no mounting points on the bumper cover itself. that's why you drill holes and such. the lip has holes that bolt on to the fender. that's why it's futile to try to visualize mounting the lip on a chuuki bumper cover that is not mounted to a car.

you're going to sort of WRAP it around the bottom part of the bumper as best you can. (big picture)

i say dont bother.
zenki lips on chuki bumpers look like ass.
it's only popular because so many cheap zenki lips are readily available and 240 people are all broke.
i think the chuki bumper looks better without that lip.
