[FG geek]

^ for real. i bought my front on for like $200 back in the day

[Emerican]

in for how you got it for $50! was it not painted or something?

[Togish1]

oh it was painted, color of my car as well!! there was no reserve on it on ebay lol...it was buy it now for 200 bux...or bid....and bidding started at 50 bux...and i was the only one who bid lol...so yea...50 bux for it...plus 70 shipping...i dont even believe i got it for that price lol....the guys said it has less than 500 miles on it and comes with all hardware...he traded in his civic and took it off before he did....so i got a very lucky find :-)

My dealer wanted $356 for it, but my friend works there so he can get $100 off, so I ended up getting it for 256 plus tax which it was like 270 total

So when you end up putting any of the HFP lip kit on your car. Would it be more permanant and hard to take off once it's on?. I mean, when someone wants to put any side of the HFP lip onto their Civic-it's permanant right? Why go through that and change your mind? Wouldn't it ruin your paint or possibly rip it off?

It's not permanent. The front and sides can be removed with little evidence they were ever there. The instructions for the back call for cutting the rear bumper though, but some people have just skipped that step and it fits fine.

you are going to have to get new double sided tape

Oh my, why would you wanna cut the OEM bumper? That would suck ass! I'm sure it still fits fine without cutting anything. I was thinking of getting the full lip kit soon. The rear I'll probably have sooner than later.

[Togish1]

wtf, i gotta cut the rear? what do u guys mean?

[GETxERxDONE]

the exhaust area.for it to be in the same location and now lowered down when you put the lip on, you cut that part out of the stock bumper and the lip goes back over it.

is there a diy out there with pix for this?

HELL Cause I ain't cuttin shiet!

Well I guess this kinda answers my post before when I asked if installing the HFP lip kit would be considered "PERMANANT" If you're going to do all that tweaking and modding of the bumpers and drilling holes etc, than the HFP lip kit IS permanant. Why would you do all that and then end up changing your mind?

i dont have a DIY but i can get pics of my cut bumper.
