Default eBay "Type R" lips installed on 98 Civic EX

Got these puppies in the mail, saw them on eBay for $60 I think it was.

Came with what is supposed to be a Type-R front and rear lip, kinda similar to the Type R, but sticks forward a little too much for my liking.

Daily driving it right now so I didn't want to invest in a legit lip kit while living on this mountain for the next few months.


Front only took 4 bolts to secure


Could have used just 6 bolts on the back, looks like the one on the left could move up a few mm, but I need a new front and back bumper anyway, and it was $60 shipped!


From da side

The exact one I bought ($62) was relisted at $198... =/

but! There are a bunch of front/rear lip kits for around $60-70 shipped

Mugen style? http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-98-HONDA-CIVIC-3DR-MG-FRONT-REAR-BUMPER-LIP-SPOILER-/360479217673?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACivic&hash=item53ee3c5809&vxp=mtr
Here's search results from $50-70 .. for 96-98 civics, just look to see if its for the coupe, sedan or hatch

If you're unsure of whether it will fit (they aren't always the most descriptive in their descriptions on ebay), just ask the seller, if he tells you something and it's wrong, you can always get your money back, depending on who you're buying from, they may not even ask you to ship the lip back if they messed it up and will ship you a new one free just to avoid negative feedback (happened to me), if all else fails, ebay will refund you themselves.

Yeah I'm gonna have to re-do it probably in the next couple days when the ground dries out, i figure ill just sand it down, fill the holes with some fiberglass putty and see if I can mount it with just a couple bolts.. I don't wanna use screws, need to think of a way to mount it from underneath. I have terrible luck with 3m tape and this thing is driven over mountains every day

You coulda bought gas
or hamburglerz
or food for that dog on the porch
or some oil that your motor burns

just suggestions before future impulse buys

btw the front lip doesnt look half bad
+1 for having lips more or less the same color as your car
