Ok guys, i got my front peice in, and its on the car.. but are the only holes i need to drill by the wheel well? Or do i have to drill in every spot under the bumper?

 

anyone? Hyde where ya at?

 

I'm assuming it's the same process as for the 99/00/01. You have to remove the OEM piece on the bottom of the front bumper. Save all the clips, you'll need them to attach the new piece.

Slide it in place and line up the holes and pop the clips back in.

I didn't have to drill any holes around the wheel wells. Maybe you have to on the 02.

 

Have you read this yet? http://www.acura-tl.com/faq.htm#7c

 

nop, the 02 front is totally different. crzy you gotta drill EVERY single holes, that's all the holes at the bottom as well as the holes in the wheel well. yup that's quite a few holes to drill

 

you also might need to remove some/all of the clips that hold the splash guard together so you can reach inside to hold the nut as you screw the bolt in.

 

Yes, you do have to drill all those holes, but it's pretty easy to line up the holes as the spoiler stays in place pretty snugly by itself (it just slips on, nothing to remove).

I recall a few of the bolts in toward the center of the car being a little hard to get at, but it's nothing you can't handle.

Have fun!

 

Thanks guys.. i just wanted to make sure before i start drilling everywhere.

 

Post pics when you've done it!

 

My instructions are in the FAQ, but they are pretty much all that is needed. First jack the front end of the car up to get more clearance, then just put the front lip on the car. You dont need anyone else to hold it on for you, it will stay on by itself. Then get under the car and start drilling the holes into the bottom plastic, and attach the spoiler using the bolts supplied. You'll have to take some of the plastic plugs off of the bottom of the black plastic underlining in order to get the nuts onto the bolts.

The two ring washers are meant to go on at the front corners, but when I took of my front lip and put it back on I didnt even use them; it still looks fine. Thats about it really. Lemme know if you have any other ?'s
