How difficult to attach custom lip?

I'm seeing all these custom lips from integras and civics. How difficult is it to attach them to my bumper?

Depends on which one you get, I think. Some have different ways to mount them, mounting points and hardware. Some are designed differently, too.

Then I used rivets and self tapping screws on my Integra type r lip on my 01 cuz its made of pu..
