I liked it tucked in like EMC2's. I'll have to see if it's possible to do the straight screw mounting with the EMC2 placement, or if it's just safer to do it the exact way EMC2 did it.

I prefer mounted sticking out. Which is what the 991 looks like

As I mentioned before, I probably over-engineered my install a little
If i ever need to replace the lip I'll probably just drill some holes into the top of the 991 Lip and use high strength cable (zip) ties through those holes and the factory mounting slots (holes) in the 997.2 bumper (which are used to mount the oem 997.2 Lip).
I would still reuse the 4 extra mounting slots I cut on the outermost points of the lip as described on page 1 of this thread.
This would allow for very secure placement and be well aligned with the intended spoiler position.

Got some time to myself today, when the wife and kid were out of the house.

Still not completely done yet (still need to attach end flaps underneath), but it came out nicer than I expected.
