Euro-R kit install help!
Ok, I'm installing the kit but to put the front lip and fogs on there are these tabs on the front lip that are blocking the install of the fogs... does that make sense?
Can anyone help me out???

Some people just cut a hole with a dremel.

Ok if you look on the back of your jdm foglight covers there will be lines for the holes that are need. you need to take a dremel and cut out the areas inside those lines. the cuts dont have to look that good cause they will be covered by the front lip. you do not want to cut those pieces off though cause your they actually hold the lip kit up a lot more than you think. let me know if you need anymore help.

fyi: the front went on perfectly
I made a slight error on the back. I will have to go find some heavy duty double sided tape (any suggestions?) and try to re do it later.

ok i have to ask this question. now I think you told me you are going to do the euro r conversion now. do you mean you are also going to change the badges also. the reason i am curious is that i thought you signed up for the illuminated door sills. i am trying to find a second person to help me convince him to do a custom euro r set of door sills.

Ok ok... here ya go! They arn't great but I didn't want to leave my building.
And this is why they were so late. The back still had like a 1mm crack, and I didn't want to sit there and hold it for half an hr while the tape set, so I rigged this up so I could watch foot ball

looks awesome, much better than the US kit IMO, i still dont get it though.....how does it change the whole front part? People just keep telling me that the front lip installs "exactly like the Acura OEM kit" but I don't see how thats possible, this has totally different foglight things! Does it have like a ton more plastic up top than the US kit that includes fog mounts on the front lip?
