Why does it seem not to fit?.......Bumper is OEM and its a real CTR lip but it seems to have some gaps. I have yet to drill into the bumper but I need help!!!!!!!!

 

umm the 96-98 rear bumper, I believe is different then the 99-00 so double check that

 

rear is the same.

Exactly.

I'll see if I can't get the install instructions. I used to have them somewhere.

 

try to do it with your bumper off the car, it can flex more like that.

 

Also, a good way to mark where you're supposed to drill is smearing some black ink around the holes on the metal clips on the lip, and then pressing it to the bumper. It'll mark it.

 

I agree. Alot of times they dont fit exactly so you must modify. Take your time and do it slow for a nice fit.

 

Strange how the real deal dont fit right, i got a knock off and it fit great.

 

HAHAHA........damn Im retarded.....The bumper was off the car when I was doing it....I thru a fit and at one time toss the bumper, I was so pissed........LOL
Okay it seems HONDA actually has points on the bumper on where to drill thru, my bumpers inside was really dirty and I couldnt see it. I wiped it down and there it was.........FOUR CROSSHAIRS....
You just drill them out and the lip fits like a glove........

 

lets see some pics of it on...

 

I will post some tomorrow.......

 

only pic I could get today..........

nothing special just looking to get a paint job.........

 

Fits nicely .... just like OEM should
