Need a front & rear lip DIY. Please Help!

I just bought the front and rear lip.. and I have no idea how to install it.

Mind you, I have a base. So i need to know if I need to drill some holes, or other modifications to my body.

you need to drill holes?

hmm, thought it all clipped on... have you already test fitted it? did you ask your dealership (where ever you got the lips from) for a printout of the installation product sheet?

All these things should be available at your dealership, as they are required to know how to install this stuff for you if you choose to.

wow thats a rip off. if cuteboi is right you should do the lips yourself. if you have to drill the side skirts on i guess ask the dealership to do the side skirts only or reputable body shop you can trust.

the front and rear lip have some holes that need be drilled around inside the wheel well that arent pre-holed on the base fit. also some tappings that need to be set into the bottom. same with the side skirts that the bottom side of my vehicle have no visible holes that I can bolt on my side skirts.

for a good job, take it to the dealership, if the money isn't a big problem, have them do it, if something goes wrong, great things about Honda Dealerships, their work SHOULD be warranted, if they mess up, you get new body panels, and most likely they would be sport parts to just place on your car.

Get it done at the dealership, it will be better in the long run, all the lip parts are tapped into place when screwing them in, the side skirts should mount to where the wheel wells screw into the body.

Side skirts may need 6 holes drilled, to get the mounting hardware on the body to slide the side skirts into place.

Get it done at the dealership, save yourself the headache of using templates, cutting the body itself, and drilling holes for the mounting brackets.
