Here is a pictorial of the install of the "Full Tilt Boogie Brake Cooling Kit"
GT (non-PP)
I did not take final pics of the tubing cinched down (sorry).
Extra parts used were bolts, some washers, and locking nuts to thoroughly secure the included nozzles to the OEM grille backing. Also added some black aluminum screening from Lowe's (it's fine, but not too fine to block airflow, I hope!) to help keep leaves, little pebbles and anything else the car will pick up out of the tubing.
At full lock, there is a very slight rub (Apex 18x9 wheels, 265 mm tires, no spacers).
Found a PDF on how to remove the front bumper. Starts on page 30.

Basic concept test fit with the Full Tilt Boogie backing plate
After cutting out the OEM lower grille
After the nozzle was heated a few times and molded to the backing of the grille opening
Holes are drilled through the nozzle and grille backing
Note that the screening is applied over what you see here, then the tubing is added over the screening. Then use one of the included Zip Ties. With this design, should the screening ever need replacing, it should be pretty easy to remove and replace the screening.
The lower grille is back in the bumper cover.
Bumper cover is back on the car. Behinds the scenes view
The tubing is not cinched down, but you get the idea
