Dude it's not worth the trouble. Just go somewhere else.

OR since it's a honda product going to a honda dealership tell them to shove the $$ to remove the lip up their ass.

It's not your fault they don't have the right equipment to service the cars they sell in the OE formation.
Yea I think ill do that thanks for the advice

I'm pretty sure he is being sarcastic.

I take mine off and put it back on every weekend for auto-x LOL

It's like 7 bolts and 4 screws.

That dealership sound worthy of being avoided...

And yes, this is a very simple task as long as you have the right type of screwdriver, a short one or a rightangle one, otherwise you will need to jack the front up off the ground.

Once you take those little screws off the side, never put them back, useless IMO. It sits tight enough with 5 bolts and no screws

For what, Doug?

The front bolts can taken off with a rachet, and the wheels just need to be turned to get the screws on the side.

Got my lip off thanks guys but I have another question now Castle honda is quoting me 93$ for a wheel alignment, while Oakvill Honda is quoting me $149. Oh says there is a bit more involved in alignment a s2000 true?
