10th Gen. Honda Accord - How-To: Front Lip Spoiler Install

[@NarLyNaRdi]

That hole at the end, that has a bigger hole than the screw provided is actually for the factory clip. Theoretically, that hole should line up with the factory hole of the skid plate and bumper, and you can use the factory clip to secure all. That is why you are also short on screws.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

I'm glad you said the reason that you went with the self tap screws and double sided tape. I didn't think of this and now I agree with you. I was gonna use nuts and bolts or rivnuts. But imma do it your way, which is the way the companies say too

[@TheLemonFactor]

👍

[@XxLIVExX24]

I just installed mine, thanks for your guidance, you saved me hundreds from having someone else install it. Although, even after careful placement and propping up the front lip to help meet height, I still wan't able to get it flush on both sides, it still looks great though.

[@TheLemonFactor]

I’m glad the video helped! 👍. Which front lip spoiler did you get?

[@XxLIVExX24]

The same one you got, carbon fiber print. I am guessing I didn’t dry fit it enough. I was having such a hard time doing the dry fit, I found it was just easier to just apply the tape for dry fitting. While doing so, I noticed the lip needed to be stretched out on both sides for both sides to properly be flush. But it was bard for it to hold in place that way so I just like it compress a little and that is why one of my sides is like 1/2 in h from flush. Still unnoticeable Looking at it 6 ft away.

[@100rats2]

I just picked up a lip from ebay and the install went really smooth and looks good seems to be holding up fine

[@TheLemonFactor]

Sorry to hear that 😟. Yes, with a front lip spoiler, considering the weight is hanging from the front bumper and the pressure it’s under from air flow while driving, mechanical attachments such as screws/bolts are necessary.

Not.sure if this was mentioned in comments. But if you use the ramps and install the lip, you may kit be able.to bring.the car.down without scraping the lip on the ramps.

Lol I’ve gotten all my car parts for my accord on ebay

[@JJ.ANDERSEN.201]

Chad was under the impression that HiRev will be of much higher quality. Unless it’s an expensive part from Japan or Euro, most of these parts are sourced from a few same suppliers from China. I do buy parts from eBay. I figured, they’re so inexpensive, I can just throw them away if I dont like it. Most recently, I purchased a $42 roof spoiler made of PU. Not knowing it’s a flimsy material, I decided not to use it and get another one made from ABS material. I dont want to return the PU, because return shipping was going to be $22..lmao Chad - thanks for warning us about what not to do, especially the pushpins.

[@philliprumans753]

so the push tab already in the bumper would not be removed to reinsert through the large hole in the spoiler and bumper combined to hold the spoiler and bumper?

[@TheLemonFactor]

I did not. However, I did not discover that until it was a little too late. I would at least try to see if it fits securely.

So how did drill the holes on the bumper with out letting the car ? I'm tryna instal one similar like this and I don't have a jack stands

[@johnnymade8426]

My 2018 Accord 1.5T just had a fuel injector fail at 58k error code P0172 (posted on my channel). Modern Honda look amazing but once the 3yr/36k warranty expires you're on your own and you have no idea how expensive modern Honda engines are to fix. Oil changed at 80%, Shell regular used 80% of the time, always did warm up the car in the winter. Dealer so out of touch they recommended brake fluid replacement at 30k. I've never seen this part fail in ANY of my past cars. When asked why the injector failed so early Dealer said they see them all the time and cost of replacement is $1600-$2500 (must replace all 4) and the new injectors warranty is only for 12k/12mos! I was in love and bought the 1st Accord on the lot with series ending in -0001 but when I made a case with Honda to see if it could be part of a bad batch all I got was crickets from Cust service and VM of the case manager for weeks on end. I fell for all the influencers stating the Accord was the best in it's class.

[@andre6746]

Did you to do any drilling under your bumper to screw the splitters in?

I don’t think I had to drill. I believe the screws easily screwed in. However, there’s nothing wrong with making some small pilot holes to get you started.

We get plenty of snow here in New England. With the car lowered an inch I do end up scraping the bottom of the spoiler on inclines. I also need to be careful not to run into parking curbs. It is a challenge trying to keep it from getting damaged. With that said, it’s been a year and it hasn’t worn well.
