Wings West RS Kit - Face Lift

Article provided by: Honda Tuning Magazine

Doing this operation with the bumper off the car is significantly easier than with it on. Set the bumper upside down and let gravity do some of the work.	Use a grease pen, or as in this case, a China marker, to mark where you want everything to be situated. Then go ahead and press the tape down. It's gotta be perfect; there's no turning back from the next step.	Once you're sure you like where the lip is sitting, drill two 1/8-inch holes through the end plates on the lip and the flanges of the bumper. Then pull the lip off, peel off the contact paper on the double-sided tape, and mount it permanently. This time, use the supplied self-tapping screws.
The adhesion promoter for the paint also works well to help the double-sided tape stick better.	There are two more screws that go in the center of the lip. I didn't use them because I think they're ugly. Then again, who's gonna see them when they're a half-inch off the ground?	You know that's gangsta!
The sideskirt install starts with putting the supplied brackets in either end of the channel below the door.	With the brackets installed, Quick Detail the surface of the parts where tape will be sticking.	Pull back the tape, but don't pull it all the way off.
Get your China marker and mark the fitment.	Like the lip, there are a few more screws that go in the center. I'm sure they're necessary, but I don't like the way they look. I'm crossing my fingers that the front and rear screws along with the double-sided tape will be sufficient.	Now it's time to go home and go to sleep. Mmm.
