Thats not the best thing out there though. It really sucks to turn the wheel and have to whip out a ratchet. It needs to be something that unlocks easily. Maybe something that pops open when a button is pressed? Idk!

Never seen those. Possible to get those hidden and easy to release? SSR bumper releases for example work good but theyre outside and they're easy for anyone to take out. Hardware needs to be inside and easy to remove but also have a lock or special key or something that makes it so that not anyone can take it out. Know what I mean?

You're kidding right? I know I'm spoiled and all with the hardware store being right up the street from me...but that's just a lazy poor excuse.

If you want it to look oem...they are the best. If it's too much work to "turn the wheel" and "use a tool" to unbolt the front bumper in "two" spots...then I can't help you with that.

Unless you can devise a hidden diy way to make a quick release work...have at it.

Those SSR things look so gay and don't even hold the bumper tight against the fender...ask REZA...he tried them on his integra at the track and said they sucked nardz.

That does fit perfect. Ive been seeing that hatch around. I didn't realize it was yours. I know you had sold the gray for a while but didn't know that was the one you had gotten.

Whats it like to have a beautiful Canary yellow rhd eg on spoons? Seriously my dream right there!

yea i use the bolt with washer and a nut too. works great. i could never resort to putting zipties on anything on my car. specially when you pay alot for a front cf lip,like a spoon or bys. cant take any chances.

My whole front end fits like ****. It drives me ****in nuts!!!!! I spent a three hours adjusting it when it got back from paint and it came out alright. I still need the actual bar that goes across the front though. God I hate my front end.

I have no choice, solid mounts make it rattle regardless. Even when I had an apex-i world sport my car seemed loud as **** inside. Now that I hardly drive it, I left it open header and now I can't hear it rattle lol. Your car looks good, but you need a new tripod. Buy my manfrotto tripod + manfrotto ball head

Yea the center is the area that I have a problem with too. Do you still have the Styrofoam under the bumper cover? I dont and I wonder if that would help hold it up.

I also have a big intercooler behind the bumper so that makes it a little tricky too lol

I notched the holes in the bumper a little to pull the bumper forward and also used washers between the bumper and the radiator support to bring the bumper up to fill the gap between the bumper and hood. You may try that out.

I lined the hood up where I wanted it to the fenders and then put several washers under each hole between the bumper and rad support as needed. You may have to get longer 10mm bolts too.

Yes mine still has the foam. I thought if I removed it, it might fit better. haha

I'll try that, notch them in front of the holes right? Also what brakes do you have?
