Just curious, Is this reversible? I'm on a lease.
The process requires drilling holes to the bottom of the bumper so unless when you return it they don't look down there then your safe lol

Any chance you could post a link to where you purchase the lip?
here is an active link for you. if the link is no longer active (down the road for future readers) search the lip name on ebay..Note: different name, same lip

Looks great. Definitely considering this mod, could use more traction in the front.
Thank you! post pics if you do do so!


What license plate frame do you have?
The frame that is on the car is the OEM one that came with the car, just took the Dealerships frame off that surrounds the plate.

Just curious, Is this reversible? I'm on a lease.
Are there any existing holes that might hold just as well?
Because this is a custom job you can't really use the holes that are under the bumper. The holes that are there are pretty far back anyway and when you return the car they don't look under the car anyway. When I worked for Honda we never looked to see if any mods were ever done unless like..you were to drill the side of the car to install some big side skirts..you should be ok

Reaching out to the expert:
Did you pick this style becuase it fits right or you liked the look. Wondering if the other styles for the BRZ would work as well?

Honda Civic 10th gen DIY: Scion FRS front lip install. s-l1600




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. ..

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.

I actually chose..er..used the FRS lip because I have an FRS and had this lip just laying around because I got a new lip for the FRS and figured I'd give it a try and it just so happen to work in my favor. That BRZ lip does have a piece at the sides of the bumper which is designed for the BRZ bumper only so I'm not sure if it'll fit. The lip I used is mounted fully under the bumper so I was able to maneuver it how I wanted to because it was urethane. The BRZ one may work but by doing the sides first, but the center of the lip may not sit up as close the the edge of the bumper like the FRS one.

Can we get more pictures of the white car with the FRS lip on it from a higher angle?
