GReddy lip on hatchback issue: 2 new updates

[Vader_Si]

As I promised, I got my Greddy CF Lip on my Crystal Black Pearl 2018 Civic Si. I'm on Eibach Pro-Kit and yes I scrape on some speed bumps. I have to be extra careful going through speedbumps, but it's nothing insane.

Damn you did great on getting all the angles in detail thanks for that.

Just a quick update. When I initially installed the GReddy lip, I left the rear bolts disconnected because the carbon would flex too much (maybe crack) if I attempted it.

Today I went back in and removed the 1/4” lip on the LX lower bumper that was getting in the way. I’m not sure if the Si lower bumper has this same lip so I’m not sure why it’s not mentioned in the GReddy instructions. With the lip cut off, the GReddy fits flush all around with all the hardware. You can see my before and after pics. It doesn’t have to be pretty, just needs to be flush. You’ll never see it. It’s pretty soft plastic so go easy with a razor blade.

You may also notice the flexible rubber air dam is missing from these pics. It was still on my Sport lip, I transferred it on before I reinstalled the bumper. It doesn’t interfere with the GReddy lip.

Also forgot to mention, the GReddy lip partially covers the fog light adjustment hole. Some quick work with a dremel fixed that. Here are the before and after.

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I am running into the same exact issue. Can you explain what exactly you did to get it aligned right?

Before you drill the holes into the bumper, you’ll need to flex the bumper slightly so it lines up perfectly and where you want it. It won’t take much so don’t worry about stressing the bumper or the carbon lip.

You’ll then need to clamp down the ends and drill extra holes where there’s more surface area. I wasn’t confident where GReddy put the last holes on the left and right so I picked a better spot I’ll try to dig up pics of the install for you

Thanks for the reply.

I was able to get it installed today. Thanks for the help! Clamping the sides down really helped line everything up.
