The badges on the back are just stick on, they don't have any holes behind them to fill, using a heatgun should be fine. You could try the Honda Factory Performance lip kit

There is a "Type-R" front and back lip kit made for USDM bumpers. Of course, to get a real Type-R kit you would need the JDM or EDM bumpers


DVS's car on EPHatch. It looks like he has the Type-R style lip on the front with stock 04-05 side skirts.

couldnt sum it up in a nutshell lol...but the major things...just too many damn problems between electrical and things just randomly breaking for no reason and all kinds of just mysterious things...dont get me wrong when i had my vws and the once in a while when they did work i woudnt trade em for anything in the world...but then u factor in the ridiculous prices for replacing things or aftermarket parts...and the constant headaches...forget it...just not worthin it when your love hate relationship with a car is 90% hate and 10% love...
