Not really, but here is a write up I made a while back.

The lip will come with a about a dozen screws and two rolls of 3m double sided time (no instructions). The the lip should be painted by a pro or with rattle can. At the very least, hit it with a can of satin black and satin clear. The paint it comes with scratched very easily.

Installing is easy, but just take your time. As with any aftermarket body parts install, test fit everything first.

-Clean the all the piece and apply double sided tape.

-Clean the bumper with some Bug & Tar remover and make sure there is no residue left over.

-Install one of the side pieces first, not the center. It should line up pretty well with the bumper's lines. Attach with just the double sided tape.

-The center piece is next. This is a key step. Peel off just enough tape
backing so you can peel it off with the center piece set flush to the bumper later on. You want to be able to adjust the center piece from side to side, so don't fully apply it to the bumper just yet.

-Have a friend hold the center piece in place while you put the other side piece on (again with just double sided tape). The side pieces will hold the center piece in place.

-Center the "center piece" so the gaps on either side are equal and peel off the rest of the tape backing.

-Step back and admire for a minute Not done yet.

-You will need to jack-up the car to put the screws in. The factory jack works fine if you do one side at a time.

-Using a 1/16" drill bit or any drill bit slightly smaller than the provided screws, carefully drill out some pilot holes into the bumper using the holes already on the lip as a guide.

-The provided screws are self tapping. Using a hand screw driver only (no power tools!) tighten until flush.

-All done, enjoy!

I'm going to paint my fangs & center of the lip matte black. Has anyone else done this?

I just had my EVO-R one piece CF front lip installed.
I had it pre-painted to match the car. Almost looks stock.
Here are some pics.

Just curious as to why you got a CF lip and painted the entire thing?

Yea, I understand the aftermarket stock look, but the CF is more $money$ than the standard FRP.

It would have saved you $100 bucks on the lip that could have made up for painting the lip. Still looks good though

chuckd05 · 12-19-2010, 02:00 PM

i dont understand why people leave the stock chin spoiler on when installing this.. it sticks out below the lip , looks out of place imo

lip looked good! I also agree why not just get the FPR lip if you would paint it ?

I agree with you chuck, the stock chin spoiler is out of place on aftermarket front lips!
