Its kinda trial and error...you should trace with some grease pencil where the lip goes and then figure where the ducting goes and start cutting...it takes a lot of trial and error though nothing exact
Sucka

Start from the buttom up. Start with small holes first and work out wards.

Well I will probably be getting mine back from paint today. Got it painted for $50!!! side job at my dealership! But yeah I have no idea what hardware to use for this and what to do with that bracket piece... There really should be a howto on this, if mine comes out well I may have to make one myself.

Ok so I am going to attempt this tomorrow finally. I am wondering what would be the best hardware to use where the lip wraps around the bumper like where it goes into the wheel well. Self tapping screws? (this is what the hfp lip kit instructions recommend.) or would bolts and nuts be better. Someone who installed one should chime in, plz!! lol

anybody know, or have done this before?? If after you cut the hole into the bumper for the mugen lip can you later on to switch back to the type r lip and not have the hole showing. Or do have to get a new front bumper. jw...

once the holes are cut, they will be there to stay...so in other words...if you opt to go back to type r lip, you'll need a new bumper because those holes are rather big and there to stay...

Use a dremel with a cutting wheel on it.
