EVO-R Front Lip Updated and Installed - Pics

So after a long but worthwhile wait, I finally received my new 2010 Evo-R lip! It's of a very high quality and the pics below don't do it great justice.

Anyway, it came with a mount kit but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing it. I had a ShineAuto lip before so I remember how that was mounted, but I wanted to make sure that the fitment was tight. The kit comes with double-sided tape, 4 small screws with big washers and 2 bolts with matching nuts. If anyone has put on their own front lip, please post with a brief description. I should be able to knock this thing out in like 2 hours. Thanks in advance.













Bonus Pic: My vLEDS LED 6k Fogs came in as well. I'll post pics of everything after it is installed.

its very easy.... should be very similar to your other front lip... u may have not have to do anything different but oh-well

the 2 screws go on each side of the front lip... they go on the flat part that will be in the wheel well... just make sure that before u drill into the lip and the bumper u test fit the lip and line everything up, once that's complete drill small holes first, then go up in size

the double sided tape goes on the top part of the front of the lip that will make contact with the front bumper... I have no idea what the bolts are for... i guess u can use them instead of the screws...

front lips are pretty much as stated before... very easy.... just take ur time

my r-magic went on how i stated, it came with instructions but they were in Japanese so i had to figure it out by the pictures

Yep pretty much exactly like your old setup.

Screws on the sides and tape at the top portion that touches your car.

Glad to see you get a lip again. I cracked mines real bad hitting some plastic piece on the highway .I am going to repair it and add a little twist since I am tired of riding with my new temporary bumper.

Your front bumper is a temp? Didn't know that...can't wait to see the twist though.

Yea, the lip fits very well. Basicly 2 screws on the side is fine. But I did provide extra 3M for people who feel need some more holding in center.

Looks good man. I see that you like that garage for pictures

Go lower and it would make the car look more aggressive

Thanks, I'll post a pic from the front in a few. I'm having a slight issue with my fogs at the moment. I got a pair from a member on the board, and the tint on them doesn't look right with the car. I'll have to obtain some clear ones again. You'll see what I'm talking about when I post.

The lip I got from EVO-R. A guy named Jay sells them. He has about 3 of these left in stock. Which is quite rare. I had to wait about 3 1/2 months for this...you'll wait about a week.

I will tell you something, the ShineAuto lip had to be adjusted/shaved in order to fit correctly. The EVO-R lip fits on the bumper without doing ANYTHING to it. I got it bolted and all that from the bodyshop, but they didn't do anything to it.

I could have driven around without bolts, that's how tight of a fit it is. I loved both of them however. ShineAuto lip is made out of a way more durable material. I could have bent that thing around a pole.

requires removing the bumper, the AP is screwed into the front bottom face of the bumper. Once those 6 bolts or so are removed then there are another set in the air dam area, the area that has the support struts that bridge the air dam, all of that comes off as one piece.

I have those H11 LED's also. To make them fit, I had to drill out the reflector cover inside the lights to get them to fit, because they were to long to fit. Also, in my State, we cannot run Blue, Green, or Red lights up front. Only White, Yellow, or Orange is permitted. Ask me how I know...
