or maybe you can just install it so that it lines up perfectly in the front?

You can install it any way you wish... I had it out like that originally but it stuck out a little to much for my taste not to mention it would scrape even more.


I can't believe this thread got over 17k views

This is how my car sits at the moment (rear is 1/4" lower then in the pic so it's the same as the front).

Sorry to revive and old post, but why all the trouble? If you can just order one from Honda?
I have had one on the EP3 for 5 years now. It has a groove an tongue design and fits right on the bumper. Only two bolts on each corner to hold it together.
