Type-R Lip

I was wondering how high off the ground it is I know depends on the drop I guess I should say how much lower does it go than the factory front bumper. I needed to know for side skirt reasons.

can you actually remove the stock lip, I think it's attached. I wouldn't even call it a lip. The Type R lip maybe hangs down .5-1"




you will have a VERY hard time lining side skrts up w/ the kit.


This is another thing you should try searching about

ah molding... but if you just attach it is about and inch right? since you need to screw it into the fenderliner part so the holes line up at around 1 inch correct?
