I expect my VRD fogs to come this week, and I'm a little nervous about cutting the front lip. Anyone with VRD fogs and the OEM front lip, what is the best tool to use to get a clean cut on the lip, and approximately how much of the lip will I need to cut for them to fit?

 

do you need to cut? i thought you only had to cut for the "JDM"/ "VRD Knockoff" lights...

 

its about 2-3 inches. take the lip off the bumper, then lay the fog lamp over the lip to find out how much to cut. thats what I should have done. instead I just eyeballed it and cut half an inch too much LOL. i used a dremel.

make sure to put some touch up paint where you cut. the lip is black underneath the paint and the shavings will show.

here's my ghetto hack job LOL

 

you can see the cut in front of the pseudo vents

 

^^^ That's for the "JDM" fogs, you do not need to cut that much for the VRD fogs like the HKSpeed pic

 

just found this pic, thanks 2fast4u

 

Here's some help for everyone that wants to know how to install the fog lights with the OEM type lip and the RS type lip kit.

Cool, that should help. Thanks.

 

yes that does help.......thanks.....now to file it away so I dont loste the info.......

 

i am waiting for my fog lights too. i went with a different lip though.

 

Does a fully stock, non-lipped bumper need to be cut for install, too?

 

^^
stock bumpers doesn't need to be modified for the VRD's

 

awesome, now are the they simply plug n' play (i'm guessing the wires where the factory fogs would hook up are just sitting there even if you didn't get the foglight option on the tc?

 

^^
yea, these are plug and play, all the wires you need are included with the car and the VRD kit. install time is about 40mins.

 

HKSSpeed, where'd you find the chin spoiler?

 

Okay sounds good, thank you!

 

So from the pics, it looks like only the sides of the lip get cut, is that correct? Does the bottom slide under the fog light?

 

Correct, Only the sides get cut, the bottome slides under the fog lights. Feel free to contact us at 909.923.8878 Mon-Fri 9:30am-5:30pm PST, or email us at info@vertexracing.com.
