The only worries is that it's a huge pain in the ***. There are a ton of bolts and screws but otherwise there are no ftment issues or anything of the sort.
The biggest deal is ICC though. Remember there are two kinds of bumper per style, with and without ICC so you gotta make sure they order the correct one. You also have to reuse the grille and a rubber gasket thing that goes on top at the seam in the engine bay. They have to either get a new one or remove the old one from your bumper and use double sided tape to secure it to the new bumper.
Other than that, there are no worries.

I got mine from John (autocad6) since he has a shop in Brooklyn and he painted it to KH3 along with the lip. I got a very good price on the labor but you're gonna have to talk to him about that...
You can always try to get it from riverside or something, but remember that this is HUGE so shipping is gonna be a bear. If you can get it local or get your bodyshop to order it you might save a few bucks that way and get it quicker as well.

But shipping is also another PITA... if you get it from japanparts I think it's $400+ pre-painted, but then you have to factor in another couple of hundred bucks for shipping.
I got it from bulletproof and even though it took forever, they were very fair with pricing. But keep in mind that shipping something like this is... "substantial"
Take a look at the box...

Yeah, I can imagine shipping would be quite pricey given the size of the box. Your front lip looks extremely nice and I'll still probably get one for my Sedan when the weather gets warmer.
humm.... how about someone buy the nismo front lip, and get a mold taken from it and "make" one to fit the sport? I see "knock off" lips all the time for honda's on ebay, so it must not be that hard to make...
