Ctr Lip! Need Help Instaling "pics"
 

Hey guys, I need your help installing my new rear Civic Type R lip, Ive never installed one so I don't want to **** it up, these are the bolts it came with

and here is the lip, just wandering where each bolt goes once it's on the bumper, my buddie told me I have to drill holes, so if you can help me explain where goes where Id really apriciate it

the bolts i'm not sure w/o seeing it up close..or pics of both yer car's rear end and better pics of the lip
but i'd be apt to conclude the screws are gonna go in the wheel wells...

would be good to see pics of the inside (back side) of the lip as well....

For sure some pics of the backside would make identifcation easier

I cant even imagine where bolts that long would go in a lip

I say **** the bolts and use 3m double sided tape and pick up some STAINLESS self-tapping screws... and toss out that cheap garbage

looking at it more, now i'm thinking maybe the screws go in from the bottom?? and the bolts into the wheel well??? just cuz of the thickness the sides seem to be compared to the bottom of the lip..

agreed tho...3M for starters..

.... from the looks of it I don't think there's anything for the double sided tape to stick to.... hence the long bolts
I think the long bots are to bolt from the bottom of the lip all the way up to the underside of the bumper and the fitment had to be adjusted accordingly..... that's my guess and the other screws are for the end of the lip that warps around the bottom of the bumper / wheel well

dam ppl I've said many times about these white abs garbage... Don't buy them coz they're CHEAP.... you'll regret it.... the're brittle, they don't fit properly and they're not worth it.... IMO

anywayz that's my input.... ignore if u or anyone don't like what's said :p

[edit] enguish owns me... :p

this gives you some ideas

advice the cheap quality bolts and self taping screws will last you about 2 seasons b4 they rust out on ya.

I cant open .pdf files oh as for the back pics I cant, my battery just died on the digi cam once it's charged up Ill take some more.

hehe, the four big bolts are not for the lip, they are just extra if you want to install something like a spoiler. you just use the silver screws, and put a bolt at the end for extra safety.

3M tape will not hold it up because the lip will get scrapped eventually and the adhesive will rip off ... 3M tape is best used for door moldings ... you will have to drill some holes along the bottom of the oem bumper and into the lip ... i suggest you take your front bumper off to do that because it would be a hell lot easier ... and it's not hard, my little brother can do it

to take the bumper off,
1. pop the hood and remove the black plastic clicks running on top of the grill

2. remove the 8mm screws on the corners of the bumper (1 each on each side)

3. remove the 2 10mm bolts on the very bottom of the bumper

4. pull the bumper off

to install it, reverse all the steps

hehe ... i meant plastic clips

thats how i put mine on:D


except mine fit perfect:marchmell

bolts are for for the bottom along the lip and the screws are for the wheel well, u have to take off the back bumper, i hope you know that

btw: nice headlights you are going to paint your front bumper right? are you lowered on coilovers?

ic, I looked under the bumper there are 2 plastic clips or screws what ever you call them how do you take them off?

P.S. The whole car will get painted and I have to get a new bumper somewhere, and the whole car will get painted black pretty soon.

i didnt have to take mine off...i guess eg/ek install is diff.:shrugs:
