Ok.. Let me give you some info that if you read my thread,you'd already know! I was the 4th person in us to owm a ukdm front, my lip is wraped from dd/slammed useage, that's why my pass shroud not like my driveside. And I'm not cutting up my other oem lip to make it perfect! My car isn't a show queen,but all my parts on my car are real oem parts that came off a ukdm itr!
When you bought the optional fogs from acura they went back and cut the holes themselves! There is no way of telling if acura cut the holes or as you put it a hack job. Acura did a s***ty job in cutting the holes as well. Right now there is 22 uk fronts in us and 3 ek9 fronts(looks like uk but not) they are super hard to find in uk and even more hard to find in us! If you want one bad enough you can spend 1500 on ebay.
