best way is to try to contact Konstantinos if you really want the grill (dont know if he is going to make one again)-- he made it and inlaid with cf which looks amazing in person there are other options I was gonna go with this setup its another modded up euro grill...and paint match it with your car color it would look dope

What's the best way to mount this Type-S lip? I wanna try and stay away from drilling and using the brackets.

Your gonna have to drill the on the sides too attach. But the front needs 3m double sided tape. I had it put on professionally

Lol thanks, but that's not acceptable to me. I'll have to fabricate some other way of mounting then, thanks though.

hey, how is the middle supposed to fit? is it supposed to go over the existing bumper, sorta like wrapping over it, or is it just supposed to connect to it with the bottom bolted on. wont the top be lose and may have a gap? or you use tape to take care of that?

hope that makes sense. a bit hard to describe haha

It will wrap over the top. You will need 3m tape which makes the fitment a little tough. But you def have to connect from the bottom. Becareful I already scraped the bottom and now the paint is peeling

I got my DRL's from Ijdmtoy. They come with resistors. Its not a headache at all. I still have a DRL error so I may need another resistor.
