99-00 SI front lip install on an EG !!
------------------------------------------------------

Yes i thought this was going to be hard and tuff and all, but once its done man was it cake, so this should clear up most of all how-to questions on this type of mod.

Tools Needed.
1) Philips screwdriver + Flathead
2) Socket wrench
3) sockets 10mm, 12mm
4) double sided 3m tape
5) Drill w/ 4-5mm drill bit
6) (2) long flatended screws
7) (2) two nuts :o
8) (1) short screw w/ (1) nut and wide washer

Start off by removing the front bumper, this was my 2nd attempt and let me tell you its loads easier with the bumper off, the lip just kept dropping and it was nite time. remove the 5 wide head philips screws that hold the front bumper to the front of the frame. the side screws you have to pull out the plastic guards and they hold the 2 edges of the bumper to the fenders and of course the 2 10 mm screws on the bottom that hold the bumper guard on the bottom to the car and your done, pull the sucka off !!

Once you have the bumper off take it in the house or whatever and lay the Si lip on top, as you can notice the middle bumper hole lines up with the middle lip bracket hole. so use your short screw w/ 1 nut & washer here, this pretty much secures the lip on pretty damn good.

now use some double side tape and be creative, and dont let it show either.. use it in areas that you want to secure, like for example the middle, middle sides and edges.. that will prevent the huge gap on the sides that most people have when they dont install the lip the proper way. but of course we will take care of that.. so its just not the double sided tape, it wouldnt hold on its own anyways..

see no gaps!

Now this is what i did on the sides.. it took some real brain pondering to come up with this one!! :hammer:
I used a drill and a 4mm or so bit and lined where i wanted the bumper to come back, when u look at the gap on the front sides push it in, the the ends stick out past the bumper then you can get an idea where to line up the hole to drill from either 2 holes on the ends of the lip. you want to make the hole just right so the long screw goes in tight that way you adjust it from the inside and nothing can be seen from the outside, put a nut at the end and let 2 or so threads show that way the tip can go in the hole and the nut secures it in place, the father you screw out the long nut the tigher the sides will come out, that way it eliminates the gap on the sides from the 00 si bumper being a bit wider

Right side

after this you are basically all done, just make sure that tape is on there good..
this is the finished product.

now back on da whip ..

will have some daytime pics tomorrow.. yes it was nite time.. lol
