i just got an is lip yesterday and couldn't wait to put it on finally i got the clips from BMA today and it seems like the lip is too thick to fit inside the clips i was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and what you did to fix it. i was thinking to shave down the lip to make it fit but im kinda hesitant to do that just yet.. thanks.

It should fit fine, but it is a tight fit. I don't think I would shave anything - it may end up too loose!

Pics would be very helpful here.

the small pins on each clip have to be pushed flush into the bumper, then attempt to put the is spoiler on.

After trying several times to install mine, I looked up under the clips and then laughed my ass off at myself for being so stupid and not noticing the little plastic push pins. I wonder just how many people have done this.

I think riegers need to be bolted on. Can anyone confirm this?
