Getting my OEM lip-kit tommorrow

I can't wait to put it on sunday morning. Is it much harder to install on a sedan, or is it just a matter of realigning things? It will be one of the finishing touches. I will have to get some pics of my car. It won't compare to many of the cars on here but it will look tight.

Here I am! I've got the OEM on sedan and it looks pimp. The front and sides go on perfectly with bolts. I didn't even use the tape and it still works great. Sides need tape for the metal things, but that's it. The rear is a bit of a problem, seeing how sedans have a shorter trunk. It will be much easier if you take off the bumper. You're gonna have to somehow fit it on so the sides of the lip will screw into the bumper on the right and left. You're gonna for sure have to drill more holes closer to the edge of the bumper to hold the bottom on. It will fit and look nice, so don't worry.

TIP: When installing the metal sills for the sideskirts, leave them on for a full day to let the adhesive cure. People who have put the sides on it right away have complained that they are falling off later. Mine is going strong for almost a year now. So tape on the sills and wait a day before actually hanging on the sideskirts.

Tighten everything up? The bottom bolts come loose sometimes.

I did the front and rear in one night, so maybe like 3-6 hours depending on if you've taken off the bumpers before. The sides you need to stick on the sills and wait for a day before actually putting them on. But basically it's a easy install. Everything screws/bolts onto the car and bumpers.

I have an 02 and the kit was 697.00 w/ 19.95 shipping. I searched around and that was the best I could find for genuine honda parts. I also got the painted mirrors for 100 each, I know it's kinda expensive but I said f*** it got em anyway. Check it out www.cheaphondaparts.com

BTW you can put the whole kit inside your car too if you need to take it somewhere, it fits. lol

So you're saying that you have to remove the front and rear bumpers in order to install the lip kit?
