info on UKDM lip or template for ukdm optional fogs

[teamjdm239]

hey there c.i i know im new but i need some help.

i recently bought a set of these fogs complete, and i installed them on the bumper already and they look great. now my only concern is the lip. i had a polyurethane usdm itr lip , i tryed to mark it from the inside of the bumper on where to cut, and i cut way too much off.

is it confirmed whether the ukdm lips have a markout on the back or not?

and if not, is there a template somewhere on where exactly i need to cut? i want it perfect, its just so difficult.

1. This isnt team integra..? lolol
2. I thought the cut didn't have to be perfect, wouldnt the shroud cover over it? You must have cut way too much off then

club integra i meant! LMAO my bad. but yea i guess i must have. i mean, i placed the lip exactly where it was intended to sit on the bumper, pulled the surrounds out, then traced the outline from the back side of the bumper and cut, now there is just too much missing and it is not saveable.

Nah, there is no template for this. The bumper is the only part where it gives you a referance to cut. Even the OEM lips dont have a exact place to cut. You will just have to do it by eye next time and just cut little by little. I did the mothod that you did and it worked just fine! You might of had the lip up too high when doing it, so that's probably how you cut too far. Best bet is to buy another one and take your time with cutting it!

So you bought justin fogs? Congrats.. Ill give u steps how I'll do it if I was you

-take off bumper,cut hole in bumper

-put on lip, go to back of bumper trace out the section on back of lip..

-take lip off and cut small section out of it from the back

-than put fog/brackets on and shround. Fog bracket A is driver side btw

-keep following last two step until fits tight/ correctly.

Btw ukdm itr lip is the same as usdm itr lip.

so its been a few months, and ive been working on the car, and saving money for another lip, i just scooped up a OEM dc2 lip bnib with all mounting hardware for 375$, going to install it, then make the cuts. this one is going to be a nail biter...

also, what do you guys use to cut the lip? i used a cutoff wheel last time, but maybe thats why i cut too much off, is there any easy way to do so?

btw, thanks for the help guys, its going to help alot, and the uk parts are going to a good build

heres a pic before she went under the knife. RHD,forged internal nitrous k24-k20 swapped dc2

use a jig saw, start small cuts and like a said b4 test fitting is your best friend.

I used a dremel. Took awhile, but it was worth it at the end! Good luck!
