Hey guys im swapping the standard lip on my evo 9 for the SE version. I have been told that there is two side brackets I would need. My question is, is there any other way to install the lip without the brackets or are the brackets a must have to get the lip on there???

 

bump

 

i installed my se lip fine. i did it a couple weeks ago and i had no problem without any brackets. there is about 1-1.5 inch gap from the lip to the underpanel. so i just took some zip ties to make sure it is not dragging hope that helps

 

If you want to run an under tray, you will need 3 different pieces to get it connected. If you are not using an under tray, then you just bolt it up.

 

That was exactly the information I was looking for, thanks alot guys!

 

someone has a evo 9 oem mint lip fs???????????????? thanks

 

Anybody have a video or pics for this install?

 

If you are NOT using an under panel, you'll be fine without the 3 black ABS panels. If you ARE running an under panel, wether it's OEM, or Aftermarket, it's a smart idea to buy the 3 'SE' Lip panels because with that gap, you are creating unwanted turbulence. You want your undercarriage to be as 'free-flow' and aerodynamic as possible. Plus, now your under panel is just hanging lower (with, or without zip-ties), etc. and there's a good chance when going over a speed bump, or a driveway curb you're going to hit the under panel.

I also went from a standard IX lip to an 'SE' Lip.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said!!!

 

For anyone else looking for the Airdam reinforcement pieces.

Their are 2 identically mirrored pieces on each side, those PN's are:

Then there is one piece on the passenger side that "completes" the lip
