Installing the OEM lip was a PITA
Even before owning the S2000 i already knew the OEM lip had to be a standard. I purchased a 03 S2000 a month ago, didn't come with the lip, so i ordered one through Honda. My buddy works there so i managed to get it at a discounted price ($200 off).
I picked up the lip today, very happy about it. I go to install the lip and i noticed i comes with all hardwares, but no instruction. I figured i'd install the lip the best that i can using common sense. I got the lip to fit, but was leaving roughly half of the hardwares out. I said to myself, this isn't good......so i come on S2ki and use the "search" to find out the correct install procedure. Found it and noticed i had done it all wrong.....so i went back out and started everything all over again.
Having the install sheet in front of me helped a whole bunch. Piece of cake. The only thing i left out was the screws along the end of the lip where it attaches to the fender. I got all 7 bolts under the lip, it seems to hold up strong. My question is, do i have to worry about the ends not being screwed in....it was cold as heck out, so i did it as fast and efficient as i could. Anyways, just sharing my experience..
...heres the result

I will do so. Just wondering, it seems like they'll be a though fit, the spring nuts seems like they'll be pretty though to fit in. I tried and gave up....not even driving the car anymore so i'll try again when it gets warmer.
And another question, there is a pre-drilled hole on each side of the fender wells, is that the corrected place to screw in the bottom hole? I would just have to make another hole for the top.

Correct, one hole is already there the other hole you have to make. I started it by using a push-pin.
