Step 1:

Cut the first couple of inches off the leading edge of the Lip, Like so.

Step 2:

After those cuts, do a small cut about half way down so it can form better to the bumper.

Step 3:

After the center cut either mount the kit and cut the final couple inches off the back nere the tire. You will have to remove the wheel to mount them otherwise they are to long. I trimmed them some before I mounted them and then trimmed the up to perfectly match the bumper.

Step 4:

To mount them I just used about 5 sheet metal screws, and I pre drilled small wholes so I wouldn't crack the bumper.

Finished product:

^^^ Double check fitment on the bottom of your specific Elantra before cutting. 01-03 XD (GLS not GT) shouldn't need the first cut you described.

I am buying the Kia Spectra front lips which I assume are about the same thing...my only question is on the actual mounting screws, would it be possible to use those black plastic mounting screws which have a case on the outside and a screw which goes in the middle and expands the outside? I ask because hopefully the plastic ones will give more reliability after scraping a few times. Thanks for any help!!
