Scion FRS front lip on the Civic? Yep, you heard that right. I found out that the front lip fits. If you've followed my other threads you know the details. If not, Welcome! I'll try to be as detailed as I can and answer most questions through the post. If you have any questions please feel free to message me and I will help how I can.

**PLEASE READ IT ALL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE INSTALL**

Parts:
Drill with a small drill bit
Screw Driver. 4 point and flathead
Hex key set
2 inch long bolt with washers and nut
FRS HT-Auto front lip(you'll be using the suppled screws)
A friend or painters tape, which ever is cheaper.
A can of black Plasti-dip (you can choose to paint match or not paint it at all but it looks cleaner black and I also dipped his grille area black as well to match for a cleaner look)

Before we start, please do this at your own risk. The difficulty level on this is like...4 out of 10 but you do have to know what you're doing as well and it could be time consuming. Having a helper does make it easier but for sure doable by yourself (I did it myself my first time)
You will be using the holes that come pre-drilled on the front lip

My Civic already has the lip on so I added the lip on my cousins car that he just bought as well..and that is where we will start. ..

Dipped the front lip with 6 layers of black Plasti-Dip

You will have to start with the sides on each side. Align the lip with the bumper and make sure it is flush with the end of the bumper. Notice how I have the lip tucked under the bumper for the cleanest look.

Drill and screw the screw(s) in just enough to hold the lip on and do not tighten yet till the end.


After doing both sides, go to the front of the lip and do the middle screw to have the lip somewhat mounted.

Once the lip has been secured by those three screws (2 on the side and 1 in the middle) go around and install the rest of the screws leaving the "Fangs" part of the lip last.

While you're down there, use the flathead and unclip and use a hex key (should be two bolts with hex) to take off the yellow circled parts. If you're confused, while you're down there you'll see what needs to be taken off. Do it to both sides.

When it comes to the fang parts of the lip you'll have to drill a big enough hole to fit the bolt through.
Feed the bold through and with the nut in your other hand pull down the bumper a bit to fit your hand in and put the nut onto the bolt and tighten.

With those two bolts bolted up and tight go ahead and tighten the screws and reinstall all clips and bolts.

After pictures with lip install and grille blacked out.

If you don't know that much, you probably shouldn't be attempting custom installs.



Did you cut out your fog light piece for intake airflow?
Nah man that's Honda sensing, intake is up top unless you have a CAI-good idea though

I'd be offended if I was an FRS owner lol. I'd wait, I know they'll be better custom options available soon on PRO CIVIC. Nice write up.

Looks great. Definitely considering this mod, could use more traction in the front.
