Default EF9 Front End Issues (Missing Key Stone)

Hey team:

I’ve just recently been very lucky and will be picking up a JDM EF9 SiR front end (finally) now it comes with the hood, bumper, bumper lenses, head lights, filler, T bar, w/o fenders (I hear I can use the USDM ones).

Basically the one piece that I’m missing is the EF9 SiR lip. What do you guys suggest I put there? Is there any other OEM lip that’ll fit i.e a USDM 91, 88 Si lip? DA lip? Any input would be greatly approached, I’ll post pics as soon as she comes out and the snow goes away.

I know the Password are nice, but I’m not a big fan of the carbon look (for now) pics would be key is available.

P.S. I also searched this.

Thanks in advance guys!

Regards:
EF - R

USDM fenders are IDENTICAL to the JDM ones minus the Sidemarkers and sidemarker cut-outs.

Yes, actually I’m very lucky that they are. A good friend of mine reseached this and found an exact cut out for the lights (measurements) I have it, just don’t know how to post it

The passwordjdm.com (fiberglass) lip is on sale right now for only $99.99! And yes the OEM fenders fit I used the USDM ones on my EF9 conversion.

For some people it's hard but for others it's not that bad, you really just need the right bit on a Dremel tool and it is cake. Just make sure you measure everything correctly and be patient and they will turn out just fine.

I use a cut-off wheel for the general shape and then go in with a diamond bit to get it just right. Takes me about 5-10 minutes of cutting on each fender once the measurements are done.
