lol same story over and over with camaros... they usually have 2 bolts on the bottom one 10mm and a 13mm if the lips are bent u can use some vise grips or channel lock pliers to bend them back to place, its really easy to bend back

How do you get to that lip? Does it require removing the side skirts and if so how long does that take to do? Also sweet upgrade on the front end! Pull that from an IROC?

yup 89 iroc i luckily had it laying around lol....

i don't think you have to take the side skirt off if u look ans is not visible is because is bent, just gotta jack up the car so you can have acces with the pliers or whatever u decide to use

these work good b/c it grabs the lip evenly:
