hey guys, i got my lips today. mugen front/ type r rear. fitment on the front is like a 95%, rear is like 85%.

does anyone have any mounting tips or tricks they've used? i'm just looking to see if anyone had any good luck with anything specific.

thanks again,


--Luke

 

i took the bumpers off and had help of a friend
i measured the lip against the bumper making sure it sat at the right height on each side...
check and double check before drilling holes...
also you can use markers to help draw lines to help align things up

 

do you think it would be easier with the bumper on or off? the reason i'm wary about mounting it while the bumper is off is i don't want the lip to flex the bumper out of orientation and not allow me to mount the bumper back on.

also what did you use to mount the lip--just screws?
it came with 4 or 6 screws i can't remember now. but nothing for the rear
the mugen front has two holes in the middle section that hangs onto the lower edge of my bumper and then also has those tabs on the end. soo two in the middle, and two on each end.

i heard someone say something about using some kind of shim to hold the lip upwards a lil more idk.

 

screws and double sided tape i used for mine. I originally put them on the car with the bumpers on. was a pain in the A** that way. I redid the rear lip with hte bumper off the car but when i remounted the bumper it didnt stay over the clips on the sides

 

Rivets. Works GREAT.

 

Where would you get a rivet gun? I'd like to redo the installation of my front lip and I know damn well that the screws I put on there isn't gonna hold.

 

Home Depot has them.. ACE... True Value... Lowes... Harbor Freight...

Come on Tracy!

 

I had my side skirts, rear apron, and front "Type R" lips riveted then painted over the rivets. Worked pretty well. Screws rust and back out.

 

Okay, okay... Sorry. I'm going, I'm going... :uhhok:

I need to do that for the front because mine looks bowed right now... :happysad:

 

hmm.. well you can't really remove rivets.. and i'd have to take these on and off for summer/winter..

i'll see about just using screws.
