Default Front lip installation questions

I have purchased a mugen lip. How do you install it? The person I bought it from said you have to drill two holes in it and put screws in it. Where do these screws go? In the wheel well? Do you drill them into the bumper or into the plastic wheel well material? Anyone ever done this and want to tell me how they got their lip on?

Take your bumper off, match holes where they go, drill holes where there are no holes.

Common sense.

not to flame but yeah what he said.

oh, you drill holes on the end of the lip at the wheel well. you're suppose to drill one hole for each end but I add 2 holes to each end, kinda overkill but I don't want the lip to come off. just me though.

u don't have to take off your bumper, it's good to have 2 people doing it, have one person hold it on place on one side, and one person drill 2 screws on the right and left end of the lip.

Just wanted to make sure that the holes would need to be drilled into the bumper and not into the wheel well, or perhaps into both. The person that I bought it from claimed that I would not have to drill any holes in my stock bumper. I found it hard to believe. Someone told me that two holes should be drilled in each side of the lip, two in each side of the bumper, and two in wheel well. Is that right? what kind of screws should i use? self-tapping?

Exactly. Also, as stupid as this may sound, make sure your stock lip (if you have one on there) is OFF. We've sold Mugen/Type R style lips to people and they call asking why it doesn't fit... after a few minutes with them on the phone, I find out that they still have a stock EX/Si lip on there and they didn't remove it.
