its pretty easy, I used some sharp scissors, lined up the sides on the car, had somebody else hold it, then used a sharpie to draw a line of where I need to cut. Afterwards lined up the holes with the bumper, sharpie again, drilled them out, and presto! Also put the honda clips on from above and snap them in (you can get the clips at autozone). Took my maybe 20 mins! G

yea thats what i was thinking. i found two problems tho when i tried lining it up. 1. i have the mud flaps to go on the ends and those screw into the rear lip so if i was to cut the ends then they wont be able to bolt in anymore. 2. my exhaust tip gets in the way on the passenger side. they are stock tips is there any way of just like moving the whole thing down like a half inch or to the side a lil bit??

oh and i came up with an answer for the first problem but not 2 sure about it. I was thinking i could cut the lip so that the end where i put the mud flaps i can re attach to the other part. like just take a chunk out of the middle i guess you could say. not 2 sure what to re attach it with tho. i mean all i really got in my garage is some J&B weld but i doubt that would be the best approch at it. idk any help?
