Apply either of these and it should disappear / blend in perfectly.

excellent for paint, plastic and lenses:

Just purchased my car on Tuesday,
Don't mind the damaged bumper, she going to the body shop on Monday.
So today, I installed the 991 lip a bit more back then others. Kinda like EMC2.
I placed it Against the factory line that is on the bumper.
I only used screws.

Awesome. very nicely done. You did exactly what I wanted to do. Now thanks to you, I know where to mount the lip. Can you take more pictures of the underside of where you put your screws? It'd be helpful to know what you did with the sides as well.

Got some time to myself today, when the wife and kid were out of the house.

Still not completely done yet (still need to attach end flaps underneath), but it came out nicer than I expected.

Just got back from a trip. Just saw your post.

Corners, I made 2 holes to gain access to the tabs to screw it, and 2 screws on the back tabs towards the wheel.
Passenger side only one srew since one tabs falls into a bumper hole

sides skirts will look fantastic, lip could look a bit strange imo.

Hey folks,
just did the 991 lip mod on my 997.2S and I am super happy about it. It really integrates well and one could argue better than on the 991... Whole installation took about 2h but one could go way faster if you've done it before.

Install notes:
- used 8x 1/2" screws. If you can find a bit shorter it'd be better but those are fine, just watch for the washer fluid hose
- flattened the tabs by using a cutter to remove the *****. Easy enough but watch not to dig into the bottom of tab, and also not to scratch the visible lip
- propped up front of car a bit using 1" pieces of wood. you can def use that extra clearance!
- used a bunch of painter's blue tape to place and temporarily hold the lip by the bumper. That's all you need really
- put in screws into centermost 6 tabs. can't really go wrong there, I dont think you can hit the hose. Just place the lip as forward as possible to look better
- had to skip the next tabs since there is the long flaps in the way. Instead screwed in the outtermost 2 tabs and A. need to get feel for where hose is and B. place it right so that the front looks flush. Quite easy to do by just looking at it.
- added 4 more screws to the back tabs. Just have to bend the flaps a bit but in the ends it's really secure.

In the end the result looks awesome, somehow cars look a lot meaner from front. Few more things:
- some folks say to put a little hose in the back to prevent the lip from bending down. I dont think that's a problem really... If anything it'll bend a bit further and give you more downforce at speed
- the car ends up scraping a lot more with my PASM stock. I scrape gently about 2-3 times a day now... Also it will catch any park space stopper. No biggie but A. it'll be challenging if you lowered the car and B. I would not paint the lip, will get ugly real quick!
