hey guys i got my lip today and i dont know where would i bolt it am i missing something that is supposed to be on the bumper already or the lip seems kinda small to drill holes

 

If I remember correctly, you have to redrill the bolt holes in the front lip to match the holes on the bumper.

Where did you get the front lip?? How much??

You might want to get a new bumper too. You can pick them up off Ebay for about $115 shipped to you. That's what I am going to do when I get my Accord lip. New bumper (painted), new turn signals, and the Accord lip. If I can swing it, I will get the JDM headlights too.

 

so it just goes on to the front bumper like that if seems a little weird like no space

 

I can't tell from the second pic but I think I see what you are saying. There is not place to screw it onto the bumper, right??

I am not sure of the specifics. This is a mod I want to do. I don't know all the details. Sorry.

 

I had to re-drill the holes in my front bumper with sheet metal screws. i drilled one hole about every 8 inches. Also IT WILL stick out about 1cm on each end of the bumper....no one told me this, and I had to find this out for myself. hope this helps.

 

yea where do i screw it on the bumper there is no room
the lip is so thin i dont know to make holes

hey can someone help me i found this pic
but the place where he puts screws in are not part of the type r lip

there is no bolts in his lip but i think i see some zipties is that what i would put and put it into my front bumper

 

you just have to told it up right to the bottom of the bumper and align it PERFECTLY straight and centered (this also helps if you had someone to hold it for you, THANKS BABE!!), and then you just lay down and drill those suckers right in, i just drilled them about 2 inches away from some of the stock bolt holes in the accord lip. just my 2 cents...please if anyone needs to correct me, now is the time.

 

hey how did you keep your sides on there was only room to drill on the middle section

 

i think you need to have your stock lip on there to get the new lip on.

 

which sides??, i just unbolted and removed my whole entire stock lip and put it in my garage.

 

i never had a stock lip only the bumper

 

im in the same situation. cant figure out how the hell im guna mount this bitch

 

lol mine looks nasty cuz i ziptied the sides down to the side .
there is so much space

 

i dont see why you guys are having so much trouble...all i did was simply measure my stock bumper measure the lip...cut off say an inch or so on each side and mounted with self tapping screws its meant for an accord so its not goin to be perfect.

 

okay you guys don't get it...for the people who are saying just screw it in because that's what you did-you recieved a different lip then the person who started this thread did. I know because I own one. The one I have it great it has a tab about an inch and a half all the way around to put screws through, but the lip that this guy has does not have any such tab. This is a newer style of lip and the people who have ordered once recently have recieved one that won't work quite so easy on a prelude. Being that there is no tab I don't really know how you would fasten it down. I didn;t have to deal with it. sorry i couldn't help but I figured i would clear all this up for the people who clearly don't get it.

maybe you could try contacting the seller and get a refund. Try and find out if you can get another one that does have mounting tabs. That is the easiest way to get it to work. I am sure you could make that lip work but it's going to take some ingenuity.

 

Yup....mine was a stock OEM '94 accord lip from honda.

 

thank you i didnt understand that either people were like it mount the sides i didnt think that they were differnet thanks for the clear up

 

so how well does this lip fit? it leaves a gap? any special modifications besides drilling the holes so it matches up

 

where did you get this lip from? is it ABS plastic? your going to have to get the plastic one... there are write ups everywhere on the web too!

 

its the abs one yea theres a gap but i will be fixing that soon all i can say is it really looks nice than gettin a new front bumper but thats just me

 

where did you order it from? was it an ebay one??? i hear the ebay ones are the best to get

 

yea i got it on ebay it was the accord 04 05 type r abs it was buy it now for 20 but i bid i got it for 15 plus 50 shipping n 2 insurance so 67 shipped but the sides of it were very very thin so watch out for that
