H and A is very reputable. Install takes all of 5 minutes and anyone can do it.

Go for it

Yeah, it's definitely easy. I've taken mine on and off a few times and it's just a bunch of (12mm?) bolts.

H&A is a good place and its a fairly easy install.

Check on eBay though, there was a dealership selling actual Honda OEM lips for really good prices. I think I paid under $300 shipped.

On a Mechanics scale of difficulty from 1-10, the DIY install of the front lip is less than 1.

Yoooo can Dooooo it!!

Job is much easier if you can jack up the car, not a lot of room to get the bolts in underneath if the car is not jacked up. Also, a second set of hands is helpful in getting the lip positioned and held in place while bolting it on. Lastly, seems like I'm in the minority but I had a heck of a time getting the self-tapping screws lined up and seated properly on the inside of the front wheel well. Driver side was OK but I really had to wrestle with the passenger side to get everything lined up. There is a fairly detailed installation page somewhere on this site, which is also helpful. I'll see if I can find it and post the link.

if you can change the oil, you should have no problem.

If you know which end of a socket wrench is the right end to hold, you shouldn't have a problem
