hahaha.. yes, yes it is..

airon, i actually did mount the lip with the cover still on, but the sides weren't sitting right (there are mount points there too, but i would have to drill through the cover).
so.. about 2.5 yrs ago, i got rear-ended and pushed into an SUV. the SUV's exhaust pierced a hole in my front bumper. although the shop did a nice job of of fixing everything up; i always wondered if everything was mounted just right (the rear bumper wasn't aligned correctly, had to realign it after i got it back from the shop).
anyway, since i had to drill those holes anyway, i decided to do what i've wanted to do for years, to take the cover off. yes, i'm OCD

h:..
anyway, i brought the bumper inside, took everything apart, cleaned it up nice.. drilled the holes (to my pleasant surprise, honda made little marks on where to drill), attached the lip; and put everything back together.
and you know what? the shop hadn't attached the bottom piece correctly to the top piece. it's hard to explain; it wasn't anything severe, but still.
redGSRguy, no pics yet; i'll take some when the entire car is clean.
