There is a How-To on the rear lip.

Not sure about the sides.

look at the how to guides. That should help you out with the front bumper and rear lip. If you think that rear lip is gonna fit on your ls bumper, you are sadly mistaken as the lip needs to be shortened to fit. Beleive me i did it lol. As for the side skirts you have to drill 8 holes on each of your rocker panels, the best way to do this is to use the sideskirt as a template.

Good Luck, andd as i mentioned use the how tos!

there are 14 clips on the sideskirts. 6 of them are on the bottom of the car, parallel to the ground, these are already drilled. The 8 you need to drill are on the visable part of the rocker panel, about an inch below the door. these holes are not marked. I clipped the sideskirt in the bottom holes and figured out from there where the top ones should be, then drilled them out. Some people have used 2 sided tape instead of drilling the holes, but this way is SOOOO much more sturdier. Dont want those skirts coming loose on the highway or something.

For the rear lip you have to cut your own holes for the clips, im not sure if it would work on a ls bumper though

no, its pretty difficult, it requires a section to be cutout of both sides, then the lip plastic welded together. I had to get a body shop to do this. However it is still a pita cutting all the slots.
