hay guys... so im attaching the front lip to my ej8.

im looking at pics on the show off your EKs thread and i cant see any of the lips [attached to oem front bars] with screws. so im guessing that you only screw it on from behind the wheel guard. that right?

so im not supposed to screw it in that part just under the airdam? keep in mind this is pre face lift, if that makes a difference. because part of the lip comes over the bottom part of the airdam.

please help! =) thanks!

take a look at the bottom of your bumper dude, you'll see theres holes every 15-20cm apart, about 11 of them
honda oem lips usually have the appropriate hardware to attach them on the bottom without the aid of screwing the top part down(the airdam bit)
usually with replica lips they have 2 pieces that attach to the bottom of the lip and try to utilise the oem honda front bar holes but never really fit right

so people usually modify the bottom to use the supplied clips, 1-2 screws on the ends of the lip that go horizontally into the bar and sometimes they use small self-tapping screws to screw it down where the airdam is
doesn't look that bad if you do it, don't really notice it

ok, the clips i got with mine http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v363/{CDC}Typhoid/DSCN0239-1.jpg useless as the lip is aftermarket and it didnt quite fit.

resulting in ghetto stylez
