Fitting DC2 Type R lip

[- 0h -]

hi guys. I just bought a Type R lip the other day. people said it's a direct fit onto the OEM bumper. It did fit straight on but the thing is the lip seems to be a bit shorter on each side of the bumper. How do you guys who has fitted these overcome this issue?

Cheers

When I had a Type R lip on my original OEM factory bumper, it was about 10mm shorter each end. Just because people say its "a direct fit" does not actually mean it is, remember its a Honda part that you are putting on a Nissan.

I've got the dc2 lip on mine.. I just cut the plastic that folds around either side and shaped it! Then made a couple of spacers so the lip sat flush to the bumper and bolted it on

Do you have pics? I'm debating between the ITR lip and an Aero front bumper

There's a pic on my build thread :thumbs: in my opinion id get an aero if I could find one

Thanks for the help, I will post some pics once I get the lip installed. Agreed on the aero front bumper but it's a pain in the a** to find one. There was one up for sale for NZD$200 sometimes last year but i didn't have chance to get it...

Hopefully the local Nissan dealer has one. They said they had two for my year but I doubt its the Aero. I'm just waiting for comfirmation. I'm seriously about to have a friend buy a cheap 15 from Japan with an Aero front, ship the parts i need, and then part it out.

Yes the Aero front bumper is rare, sometimes you need to pay more than you want to just to get one - in my opinion they look better than a fitted lip. I don't regret buying my Aero bumper, not at all.
