why not just turn the wheel so that you have room to work? you only need to screw in 3 things right?

if your car is stock height, just install it on the spot, maybe turn your wheels for easier access to the fender bolts. the most you HAVE to do is raise the front of the car. taking off the bumper is unnecessary since the lip will reuse the 9 bolts on the bottom of the bumper.

A little off-topic, exactly how much (height) of the existing bumper does the lip cover up in the middle portion of the original bumper. Mine has a little bit of curb rash and I am seriously considering the underbody spoiler to cover it up. Thanks!

I just installed my AP2 oem spoiler a week ago. Like other said, there's no need to raise the front of your car. It'd make the installation easier, but by no means is it necessary. I didn't.

Installing the lip is one of those things where it could take you 1 hour the first time - carefully reading instructions, double checking everything, etc. The second time you do it will take at most 15 minutes.

sunilseru - if i understand your question right, the lip will cover the front of the original bumper and leave maybe 1/2" of the original bumper showing.

I bought mine from Flagstaff Honda on eBay for 350.00 shipped. It doesnt look like they have any listed right now but you could email them.
