well i been reading alot of the ap1 oem front lip vs the ebay replica urethane lips and i wanted to try it for myself.
i know there alot of s2ki members that would perfer to buy and spend $350-$400 for real oem which my opinion is if you got money then hey go for it but the reality is that money is tight these days and i dont justify buying a $400 part especially if your lower on springs or coils that would put your lip at risk ...


so with that said i pull the trigger on this ebay polyurethane front ap1 lip

this is how it arrived



started by lifting the car putting it on jacks




now what i did i put the lip up to the bumper and it was a great fitment so i used 2 self tapping screw and screwed the two ends first to get it lined up before i finalize the location of the bolts i was going to use

so so far tools needed
jack
jack stand
10mm socket
10mm wrench
other tools for the bolt installation
drill
drill bits
2 self tapping screws
about 10-1 inch bolts with same amont of lock nuts(maybe less)
and 2 washers per bolt
water/beer
and at least a extra pair of hands


so when got underneath the car i saw that the factory bolts didnt line up with the holes that comes pre-drilled on the lip. so thinking how the hell im going to secure the lip without making it look funny or messing up the bumper it self . so i decided to line it up and make my own holes and use the bolts, washer and locknuts to secure it

sorry i dont have pics of the whole process
but these are some pics after i made the holes and put the bolts on



and underneath the bumper




now the lip is awesome i really like it especially because it bends and will not break (only bend)

so here are some final pics








at the end the lip is on perfect no cutting was done to the lip besides thee holes i made

now the bolts by the wheel well i will be painting them black

UPDATE

ok guys here are the pics you been waiting for ....lip is finally painted yayyy

this is the lip

I wished i never bought my replica lip. I mean don't get me wrong my lip fitment was near perfect but i could've of spend it on a oem without having to paint it.

zoomspeed05

yea but the only reason you would have got a oem lip was just to say you have a oem lip right? but like i said i prefer the urethane lip knowing that if i hit something with it i dont have to worry about buying a new one just painting it

What are you talking about? I could go to a Honda dealership right now and buy a pre-paitned NFR OEM lip?

Tell me I'm wrong....
