How To: Install TAKETWO VAR Front Lip on your FL5 Type R, without any drilling or removing your front bar.

Tools & supplies needed:

• Trim removal tool

• Philips head screwdriver
  
• Microfiber cloth
  
• Isopropyl alcohol or other cleaning solution
• Ideally, a hoist (its much easier than doing it on the ground)

Steps:

1. Ensure that all contact areas between front bumper and lip are clean. We use isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface, along with a microfiber cloth. 

2. Jack up the front of the car or drive onto ramps if you dont have access to a hoist. Remove all trim clips on the underside of the front bumper. There are 13 clips and 1x screw to remove.

Above: Honda OEM trim clips. These can be tricky to remove and a proper trim removal tool is required.

There is a single Philips head on the LHS of the car.

3. Remove double sided tape backing (HOT TIP: only peel back a small section and bring it to one side side its visable when you hold the lip against the bumper). Sit the lip up against the bumper

4. This is the tricky part - there are 14 bolts, with washers and nuts, included in the package. These are used to secure the lip to the undertray mounting points. You can access the back side of the undertray by popping out the clips of the small section between the front undertray, and the metal sump cover, then you can pull down the undertray and reach in to feed the screws through.

THIS IS MUCH EASIER ON A HOIST.

5. From there, you just need to get a spanner through that small opening on the undertray, tighen the bolts, remove the remaining tape and you are done.

6. Bathe your hands in warm water to recover from the pain of reaching through the undertray.
