You would need to remove the front bumper. But it's not that hard.

^ No you don't need to remove the bumper. It's just easier if you do.

Even though you don't need too. I would recommend to because you don't want to make a mistake when you're drilling holes into your bumper.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 02-18-2008, 05:49 PM

ok...so im removing my front bumpers when i install it..but what do you suggest i clean the car with before appling the bumper with the tape? alcohol?

olieebur · 02-18-2008, 05:54 PM

yeah that what it recommends in the instructions anyway.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 02-18-2008, 05:59 PM

yeahi just read it lol.

ill also be using a hair dryer to help the tape "cure" since its not as hot as id like it to be..but its not too cold though..i was thinking heat the tape up with a hair dryer before sticking it to the car

Si Speed 317 · 02-18-2008, 06:18 PM

How much ground clearance does the front lip take off? My previous car (not a Honda) had a pretty horrible clearance with the lip that was on the front and the underside was scraped constantly, even with cautious driving.
I like that I can drive my FA5 now without having to account for low clearance... and I may not get the lip if it means that I have to baby it through parking lots and driveways, etc.
What do you guys think? I haven't lowered it, it's all stock, etc.

JKinATL · 02-22-2008, 10:18 AM

Anyone? Reduced ground clearance? Inconvenient?
Thanks.

did you remove the bumper? if not, did you raise the car?

i want this lip and will install myself, and i read the instruction from honda, and looks like you'll need to raise the car if you dont want to take the bumper out

drilling and such

mhuynh · 02-22-2008, 10:57 AM

It's pretty simple, but doing it with two people makes it easier when it comes to putting the lip on the bumper because of the tape.
