Idk you could probably finagle them in there somehow, the fog lights sit back a little bit so they may bump right up against the inside edge of the lip and fit perfectly, who knows?

i think it wud look super weird with fog light and the mugen lip just like it wud on the dc5. The clean look of a mugen lip on the ep is sexy as hell. I wouldnt modify something that looks that sexy!!!

I don't even really like the fogs for the EP. I don't know why haha, I don't like carbon fiber either, I got a brand new CF hood for my EP for $60 and got rid of it in like 3 days lol.

You have to either shave your lip or your foglight shrouds.

i had to cut holes in the bumper for the lip.
i had to cut holes in the lower grill for foglights.
i had to cut my lip to fit foglights with the lip.

You should be able to see where i had to cut


A lot of cutting.

I would suggest cutting the foglight shrouds instead of the lip because fogs are cheaper than the lip.

good luck.
