Should be 4 brackets total to install it ans 2 plates for the side. 2 of them go in the round tube of the frame. There's a hole that will hold the bracket in. The other 2 will mount up where ur OEM bumper exhaust cap mounts. The line up the sides and drill 2 holes on each side through the bumper. Diffuser should have pre drilled holes. Put bolts through and use the metal plates to reinforce the bumper. So screws through diffuser, through bumper lip, through metal plate then washers and nuts. Sorry best I could do real quick. Feel free to pm me if u need help

I agree with all of the above. If yours did not come with the 2 mounts for the rear of the diffusers, you'll have to make them. I used worm gear clamps around the round frame rails, that held aluminum strips bent in a "Z" shape. No issues going 100 mph+.

For added safety, use Nylock nuts or 2 nuts. I've found some of mine had loosened up overtime.

Worm clamps would work too. I just used some poster puddy on the nut and stuck it to my box end wrench and slide it in the rail lined it up and screwed the bolt in. Then removed the wrench, pretty simple
