Default Need help with nylon bumper mask.

I bought a nylon bumper mask from RPI Design but their instructions said to attach the bottom clips of the bumper mask to the airdam.
This mask has no clips on the bottom! Has any one got this mask?
Are there any videos out to show this install?

Thanks

Also on the second part of your post. You should have received 6 screw in snaps. It's real simple remove the 3 factory screws on each side of your wheel well on each side-replace with the snaps and your done. Your mask should also have 3 clips on the top to hold it in place. None on the bottom.

Are you speaking of this style stretch nylon bra? Mine is only stretch along the bottom with no clips. Clips on top.

Thanks everyone!
The instructions say there are clips on the bottom so i thought they were missing.

I have one from C5 Creations..It has 3 clips along the top, 3 snaps on each side and a clip on each side below the bottom snap....also had the wife sew elastic across the bottom so it fits snug underneath the bumper....
