here are a few more pix for you guys...
so clean! How much lower does the front hang with the STI lip on? I'm debating on whether or not I should get it.

and to add to the thread:

The lip itself lowers the front 1.5 inches.. so i have to be more careful were i drive now.. all apart of being low

turbodatfit: The eBay kit came with 8 screws which i used all of them. It also came with 4 push pin clips but i only used 2 of them. i used all the pre drilled holes. its not hard to install at all. start from the center and work your way out. you will be bending the lip in order to fit the bumper nice and snug.

I might take you up on that offer. I went Kie Whole sale to get the lip. No screws or hardware included plus no instructions (not worried about instructions, but annoyed of no hardware)

I'm gonna try to give this a go probably sometime within this month or something. Thanks for all of your help Type_LS and Wafulz.

yes you will have to take off the bar bc the lip sits there.. but the push pins are the same size as the honda ones so you will be good there.. the screws im sure you can get them at home depot, lowes, ace, or any hardware store.. hope that helps.. if you lived in florida i'd be more then happy to do it for you

So many questions. Thanks for replying. You need to take yours off again and make a DIY thread with pics - lol. I really lke you look. So clean.

What wheels do you have? The tint of them go well with the tow hook.

Debating here whether to do this mod. Damn you are low in front. While I have only scrubbed the corner of my lip a couple of times( mainly not paying attention) I suspect with this lip I would scrape it often. It would be rather low for the winter as well. But, on other hand I am running out of stuff to mod.

yeah im thinkin about a DIY thread.. lol.. i have a meet coming up this weekend and im trying to get the FIT ready for it after the meet i might make the thread..

But the wheels i have are Work Rozest's.. they are 16x7.. they were in rought shape when i got them. I had them redone and paint North Shore Blue pearl. The same color that comes on the CR-Z..

I drive outta the way so i dont scrub..takes me a little longer but its worth it..if i didnt do that the lip would have been knocked of the first day.. I seen Fitdeez has this lip as well but he put his on his mugen lip so he is EXTREMELY LOW

Nice wheels and a bit pricy from what I have seen. Good colour choice.

I am going to pass on doing the lip. I would just hate to scrape one.
