I finally installed the Type R style grill and fog lights that were sitting in my garage for months. I also replaced the old cracked lip with a new one (same design). I had white vinyl scraps laying around, so I applied it to the fog light housing and front lip. I'll peel them off when I bored of the look.

I made 2 modifications during the Type R style grill installation:
I cut slots in the triangle ends to match the real Type R grill.
I applied black caulk tape to cover the stock bumper support teeth (see 6:29 of this YT video).
Do not buy the grill I got. It is identifiable by the blanks at the ends of the mesh to mount the stock airflow baffles. The top does not fit without trimming. I met a guy with the same grill, who didn't modify it.
I guess the 2 cutouts at the top are to attach the stock license plate holder? 
The yellow circles are the extra tabs on the grill I removed on mine. The grill still doesn't fit perfectly.
