"Probably" will put fasteners inside the fender lip to secure. One additional note. These seem to come with and without an additonal flange on the top to secure on the Hondas lower grill opening. If you accept this mission.. get without top flange unless you just want to cut it off. These are normally 40 bucks on Ebay.. guess it was fate that day I searched and found it listed for 5 bucks in error.. and a special thanks to the vendor for honering the screw up!

I didn't!
User XXX-FIRE (see gumball rally thread ) was trying to sell one you put a bolt through the side and trimmed an inch of each end by the wheel well.. "He had these made up for the crossfire ..only $150 if you order today"... LOL.. offered him a tape measure. His thread started with him and another guy holding one up and I went on search on Ebay. They are a 40 dollar spoiler, and just so happens the seller mis- listed the price.. on the right year of Honda by chance/fate.
So I gambled on missing a Big Mac and fries..

So somebody head to the track and see how much time the new aerodynamics shave off the ET... LOL. I just like the fact it changes up the look from the rest just a tad..

How close is the Camaro rear diffuser to ours?
It's not...even close... We are giving one away at my company for charity..You buy tickets....etc etc...anyway I have been moving it around at our field shows and wiping it down...and it is long and flat w/strakes like ours...but not even close to the curve we have.

There's always the cupra if you can find it.. think they are $80 if someone is trying to get rid of extra inventory.. There's always the Garage door seal in the newest thread..

Hey Od Man.....

Just got my lip yesterday, left a message on one of your pics, love the way it looks, I noticed the fitment you achieved was perfect and the end caps actually follow the line of the fender/bumper very closely, can you give me some pointers on how you achieved that nice fit?

I just ordered one of these lips off ebay. I'm hoping it'll look as good on my Xfire as it does on yours! Maybe I'll even wrap it in a carbon fiber vinyl.

Mr M:

Thanks for jumping in and providing the definitive word on this. I am going to order it immediately.

If I can bother you with one last question, I got kind of confused with reading the several threads on this regarding just where or who on ebay is the best place to purchase the item. If I can bother you with that bit of guidance, if not then I will begin rereading the various posts and figure it out.

Again, thanks sir for your assistance

Not a problem.. I'm subscribed.... I'm sure these are made by the same MFG... so pretty much just look for who has the best price going.. and MAKE SURE it doesn't have that little extra flange on the top leading edge..

Mr Miati and everyone else:

Is the ebay seller mac tuning the one everyone is purchasing. Looks kind of strange in the ad listing. Perhaps I just do not know what I am looking at. If everyone says that is the one then I am gettin it!
