I takes maybe 10 min to pull off all the trim pieces. I say quit being lazy and paint match!

It's one of the DIYs that isn't fixed yet. Why don't you write one? It's not hard at all to install.

I used 3m foam tape to hold it in place with the bumper off the car. 2 screws on each side. Mine has 3 in the middle of the lip. There are holes for them. Forget the hardware included with the ebay kit. They're lame.

EDIT: got my friend to help me with the painting so looks like 95% chance that my black trim pieces will get paint matched along with my type r lip and not the tsunami lip, its just too bulky. I'm so excited, hope the outcome would be much cleaner

Type R is still too much flare....... but it lacks anything unique like the tsunami one....

your just looks bad cuz its black.

CORRECTION:::::
Yours doesn't look "bad" just not up to its potential

I love my Mugen lip, mainly because EVERYONE and their mothers have Type-R lips, on this site and around my area. I like to be different, and I think it looks really good.

I have a Si front lip laying in my garage. After i wrecked my car they just put a new one on it and i got the old one back. I think it has a crack on the under side of it but not on the top of it. Ill have to get some pics of it and put it in the forsale section. I have the front bumper also. I think that just needs to be repainted since the paint is cracked.
