Nice car.
I just bought the same lip from SOS, but am having a bit of trouble with the mounting holes. Whats the easiest way to do it?

thanks prova4re , now if you don't mind me being your copy cat... I'm placing order thru SOS right now!!
DeNguyen, I believed the easiest way would be that you removed the stock lip spoiler and put directly on top of the SOS one, then drilling holes... prova4re, you have better idea??

If you look close at the SOS lip there are dimples in it, that is were you drill your holes.
The side pieces don't have the dimples, so lay your old lip over it to get an idea were the holes are.
The big problem are the screw holes next to the tires, the hole has to be perfect to get the screw in.
The plastic wheel well is held in at this location, and has to go in between the lip and the lower dam.
But the fiberglass is thicker than the plastic lip was,
this makes the screw come up kind of short.
So if its not perfectly lined up it won't go.
Keep your drill holes close to the inside of the lip.
I ended up making the holes allot bigger so you have room to work with.
The screws have big washers on them so the hole does not have to be perfect.
Start installing the screws from the middle and work your way to the edges.

SOS Front Lip
Prova,
I noticed that you have only 3" of ground clearance with your SOS Front Lip. Have you had any scraping problems with steep inclines.

Brian, do you own a Ferrari 360 as well? I think I saw you on F-chat.

hmmm, can you PLEASE post more pics in different lighting, and/or angles (front,side profile, etc) ... I also have a black NSX and i am looking into getting the SOS Carbon Fiber Front Splitter or the dali Mugen-style carbon-glass front spoiler.
Sincere thanks! btw... it looks great, on the red & black!
thnx. The install wasnt too bad. i drilled more holes than there were bolts, but thats all part of my weight reduction strategy. Haha. I really did have to drill one too many holes for alignment, but otherwise very clean install.
is this part lighter than the oem part???
it looks much larger?
it looks much larger?

I dont think so.
and in the case that it is lighter, i doubt the difference is significant. I was joking about the weight reduction strategy.
I am considering installing the CF Front Spoiler and have my car lowered with Eibach Springs. For those that have them installed with a lowered car have you had scraping problems on inclines.
