6th gen? I assume so.

Did you remove the bolt in the middle of the bumper below the emblem?

I could have sworn mine has a bolt in the middle below the bumper...maybe not.

One question though Your Blasphemy : Why would you discard the two bolts???

5th Gen's easy. 1 screw in each fenderwell. 2 bolts behind each bumper light. That's all I can remember. Maybe a bolt or two under the car. Putting it back on is always a ***** for me since I always end up with a gap. Take it to my local shop, they put it on a jack, and push the bumper support up with a metal rod and use air-tools, and it then looks sick. For Free

That's included in the directions for installing the underspoiler. The underspoiler kit includes new bolts. Obviously you don't discard them when you're just taking it off.

Honda directions are EXCELLENT. Whoever designs those things must be makin good money :thumbup:

It could be the possibility of yours being a sedan and our coupes have a grill that we can remove
