Default How does the TYPE R front lip attach?

Jus curious. Im thinking of adding a nice lower air damn but i dont want to pop-rivet the airdam on my whole bumper.

So what im thinking is purchasing just an airdamn and then pop-rivet the shield to it for lower coverage. Then, if i want to take it off, i just take the "lip" part off and im ok.

My vision of what im wanting to do may be blurry, so if you could just explain where, and how the R lip is attatche to a 98> front bumper, id really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Tony

I just put a new lip on my R. It just attaches under the front bumper with half a dozen screws or so. There is also two screws at each end of the lip in the well with the tire.

you're probably looking at least that...if not closer to 300...unless you can find one used...

then the paint factor comes in...brand new it won't match unless you have NHP or FBP for your GSR...used may be a better way to go, since you're going to have to paint it

I'm selling one that is slightly scratched and painted yellow. I won't be getting pics of it up next month after my wedding. The damage isn't that bad. I just wanted a new one. If you get a OEM lip, it comes painted and lists for $400.

The Comptech stuff is cheaper, looks nice, and comes unpainted. You just might want to look at it.

Since the OEM parts are going to be rare, I'll probably be getting a CF version later on when they come out with it.
