I just installed the lip on my 08 Sport as well...and had the same issue with the template.

I used painters masking tape to align it where it should go...the marked the drill points...then threaded the holes...

Then started on one side and mounted. I just made certain the lip was EXACTLY where it whould have been and taped properly before drilling.

NON recommended Lip Install DIY: Snap on the lip securely without unmasking the tape, then install all the screws, loosen them unmask the tape and snap back on and tighten screws, took me about 10-15mins and the install was perfect without any use of the template!
