ok i got the fogs in but how do you modify the front lip to fit? anyone have any pictures or ideas on how to do it? it seems that shaving it down would work but it seems like a lot to do...any help would be great, thanks

all u have to do is use a dremel and cut out the 'fake-vents' that are on 2 corners of ur front bumper's grill.

i wouldnt say there fake vents, becayse they are vents they just dont vent to anything

lolz at fake vents..
But i think he's asking what do you do to the HFP front lip to make it fit over the foglights.

yea but it seems most people set the fogs back more in the bumper and dont modify the front lip at all

I would personally PM a member who has previous done this. I was thinking about doing this before I went JDM. The member I talked to, said that it was really hard to get the fogs to aim properly.

so you just basicly notched it in enuf for the foglight housing to fit. correct?? about a 1/4 inch or so??

RHCP0801

yea i pretty much just went back and forth cutting and test fitting until it looked and fit good. It was more than 1/4 of an inch too
