they can do it for u but not sure if they would charge.

getting charged for sumthing that simple isnt really sumthing u want, its very easy to DIY.

ive never used double sided tape. ive always put 2 wide flat screws in the middle of the lip and just painted over them.

tape usually come of sooner or later thats y i opted for screws, might not look pretty but i know itll stay on if i accidentally scrape over a bump

Does it come with an installation guide and screws? I'm noob as

**Riced_Civic** · 14-01-2011 07:17 PM

no instruction as its only 1 way to do it

yes there is screws but only 2, u need to go buy another 2 if u do my route with them in the middle

Ahh i've only scraped a few times at very low speeds so 2 screws should hold it i hope

I've read that mugen lip makes the front lower and have a much lower look than the type R, might just buy it online and fiddle around at home to screw it on. Does it require any kind of 'drilling' into the car? Or just a screwdriver will suffice as the holes are already there in the bumper

pm me when you break the lip or dont want it lol ill pick it up off you. you dont need a drill just get a screwdriver and a screw and force it, its only plastic. even if your adding extra support screws in the middle it will be at the bottom of the bumper so no one is going to see the holes. i cant remember but i think that the holes on the side are already marked for a lip (no holes though) but again... its just plastic so you can force a screw though it

Thats not very good having to put 2 screws in the middle :S
My mate done that, looks sorta ugly, are there any actual lips that use the oem holes to hold the lip? that iev always wondered, if not, than ill just stick to my sir lip

abs or poly? abs is harder like a bonner but poly is more flexible. even though both are flexible there both plastics and poly would probably be the better choice as it dosnt crack or snap as easy. the bumper of your car is most likely made of abs btw.

abs plastic is the industry standard plastic used on all automotive, poly flexs to much ive found under heat, as a front lip its fine, as a rear lip, expect it to warp from the heat from the exhaust

If ur wanting a good lip, either buy a oem lip or abs knock off lip

Hahah bro why you after a broken/used lip?

And can someone comment on the mugen vs type R about which one reduces space to the ground? I sort of want to avoid massive scraping but at the same time want the lower look without actually lowering (yep, im pov)
