It probably won't fall off, but it will probably bow up in the middle a bit. Maybe try some doublesided 3M adhesive tabe. But if you take the screws out, you'll have two little holes in the top. If I were you, I would just paint the heads of the screws. I've got two screws holding my cf mugen style lip on...I used some black ones so that they are barely noticable. The holes were pre-drilled so I kinda had no choice, but it doesn't bother me...the lip fits like a glove.

You can see the black screws in the top of the lip on either side of the license plate. (soon to be relocated)...wink...wink.

if you mold it in with bondo it will crack and ruin your nice molded paint job...plus bondo doesnt stick to much besides bare metal and it doesnt flex well....it will definitely crack....your best bet molding is probably fiberglass...and that will most likely crack with time too

hey has anyone been told that a 95 civic type r front lip can also fit on a sedan with no mods? I was told this by a local seller and it just sounded sketchy. Let me know I'm trying to buy one this week.
