Those holes are really just for added security. If you use all the mounts on the bottom of the lip and double sided tape where it shows then it should be pretty solid.

I didn't use tape because I like to take mine off in the winter. so I do use one of those holes. I ended up just drilling into the splash guard and putting a screw into that. it's worked fine for two years now.

there is supposed to be like a bracket or clip.

but yea you can use screws too like that.

you can also use all the brackets on the underside and then doublesided tape along the borders to snug it to the bumper wall so that you dont need to use screws. Use 3M black doublesided tape not the gray one.

prep the area's and silicone adhesive will work too, use masking tape to clamp it for 24hours to cure first.

im not sure how i feel about a non-oem installation like that, i mean oem parts are not supposed to be installed like that, its supposed to be able to be removed and put on anytime you wish with no paint or install problems.

I suggest you do what I mentioned since i have the original lip, oem just needs the brackets underside bolted which are already there, and doublesided along the borders, where the grooves are. and lastly, you can get the bracket and or self tapping screw for the insides of the fender only if you have to, its not necessary, do the install first and see how it goes, make sure everything is aligned left to right so you know its even between both fenders.

thanks!

I think so.
But I wanted to ask can anyone have the original bracket or clip and can make photo.

When I bought my celica, I have alredy installed oem tom's lip, but I can't remember how lips was attached. Unfortunately, I broke it and deinstalled.
Recently bought the same.
