Can't be Chinese. Probably Japanese... lol.

Sorry Mike, I was gonna put mine on soon, but got rear ended the other night and that will put off the install a few more weeks. I might be looking for YOUR diy when you get it put on.

The ones it comes with are the best. Just go step by step and get a metric ruler. Use the templates and follow the pics. Its not hard if you take your time.

did you buy it new? You were supposed to get templates for the bumper where to drill the holes.

I've got the templates and the instructions(there in english just VERy confusing, which i said they were like chinese).

I can barely understand the directions, the termonology used is very confusing and some of it is just plain confusing

Before you start, make a couple photocopies of the templates, and use the copies instead of the original. The templates are to be cut off and placed at certain area of the rear bumper for you to drill the mounting holes - yes you have to drill holes. Drill the holes while the bumper is still on the car. Read the instructions a few more times it'll make sense to you.

^ it means where the black (unpainted) lower section meets the painted part. Just point the index on the card board template to the stagger to mark the drilling point.
