i heard that i could possibly get this thing molded on to instead of using brick endings but the lip would have to be adjusted and possibly reformed in order to fit and it would cost a real pretty penny

you can just mount it on but once its hits something its gonna be ripped off. The brick edging absorbs impact and flexes as you go in and out of driveway. You can do either way its up to you but thats my original way.

I've mounted on mine on the bumper using 4 screws, 2 each side. Don't screw in the middle of the front lip, that way you'll have a little space to absorb shocks from scrapping.

I dont see why its only been done with the acura cl front lip.. Im planning to buy a front lip for the 96-98 civic coupe. , Have searched everywere for measurments on the acura cl bumper and the civic bumper but nothing is found. however both cars are close to the same size and width so (hopeing) and possibly the civic bumper will fit with little modification.. and i plan to use the brick edging as well... Some one please post back with any ideas or what they think about the civic lips.
