Installing HFP Front Lip, any advice?
Howdy,

Im going to be installing my HFP Front lip tonight (rest of the kit will be coming in the srpingtime). Ive read a few things around here and Am fully confident that Ill be able to do it without a hitch.

Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone had any last minute advice for me before I begin.

Thanks!

**UPDATE**

SUCCESS!!!!

That was very simple. I followed the instructions on CollegeHillsHonda's site and it worked like a charm. Took about 1 hour from start to end of cleanup. No gaps or anything. Went terribly smoothly!!

Before:




After:




Im lovin it!!!!

The best advice I can give is to watch Top Gear while installing. I do that when I Zaino and installed my retros. It made it fun, even if I was doing it myself. It also made for numerous beer breaks!

The beauty of the HFP stuff is that it's not so much lower than stock, so even just putting the front lip doesn't look all that bad.

I work at Honda too, i used to install accessories. When i did body kits i would slide the brackets inside the sideskirt first than place it on the car instead of putting the bracket on the car and trying to slide the sideskirt onto it.. worked out alot easier for me after i figured it out during my first install
