I will get the name later. Pre fit the lip and secure it in place with some tape dont worry about the gap right now! Once you happy with the Pre fit, use a couple of self-tapping screws and secure it from underneath once your happy with the fit. My suggestion would be to do as I did, remove as many fasteners that hold the bumper from underneath as possible, that includes any that are holding the bumper to the wheel well. The idea is to get the bumper as flexible as possible. Take some blue tape and mark a few areas were the lip should be once it's installed. Now remove the lip and apply your choice of adhesive, re-install the lip and secure it from the bottom were you previously used the self-tapping screws then use duct tape to hold it in place. Now here’s how you fix the wheel well gap. Push the fender wheel well out of the way and take another self-tapping screw and screw the lip and the bumper together from the inside. If you look at the curved ends of the lip you will see the area I'm talking about. One side came out perfect and the other has a small gap that can be filled with some phenoseal. I'll take some pictures in a bit.
Thanks Tom, great information.
