Default installation instructions?

does anyone have/know where i can get instructons for installing an oem front lip (AP1), the Top Secret CF hood, and the eyelids? is the hood just a bolt on (like unbolting the stock one, and just bolting the cf one on)? Also, the front lip probably requires drilling right? and the eyelids are just stick-on right? (theyre already painted) Just wondering because i usually get things professionally done, but if the hood/eyelids are that simple, i might just do it. any recommended instructions on the lip? thanks, i tried searching, but got everything from installing clutches, to lowering springs, but none of these.

i can answer the eyelids...
they do just stick on and you can do it yourself easily.
take your time to make sure they are on straight though

Here are the instructions for the front lip. You do have to make 2 holes in the front bumper just in front of the tires, but you don't have to drill them. You can use a small pick to push through the plastic to make a hole. Other than that, no more modifications have to be made.

thanks a lot. So thats 2/3, anyone got any info on hood installations? When i used to work on my Prelude, i would take off the hood everytime so it would be easier to get into the engine bay, so im hoping its that easy, just a couple of bolts.

It's 4 bolts actually. Then you "might" have to align the hood. This could mean torquing those 4 bolts down a bit at a time, lowering the hood and making slight shifts. It may also involve adjusting the bump stops and hood latch assembly to move the resting position up or down as needed. Of course, you'll need to un-install the windshield washer parts and put them onto the new hood.
