Default difference between comptech and oem type r lip

alright, i have been searching to long for a oem type r lip, and i think i want to just buy the comptech lip, now i know the oem one is abs plastic and the comptech is polyurethane. Does anyone has pics of the comptech one on there integra painted? can you notice any difference between the two really? and someone said the comptech dont paint as well? like they say use flexible paint? anything helps! thanks

You don't have a lip at all on your Integra. It might look like it does but the bumper just comes in two pieces like that stock so that lower piece is just a piece of the bumper and is not a lip. That first Integra is a 98-01.

1998_4dr_gsr..how's the tape holding up? Tape holding a lip just doesn't sound too sturdy for me, I'd probably get some bolts in there.

that look is played out.....

I know you're asking about the 98-01 front lips, but I've had the OEM 97 ITR front lip and the comptech 97 itr front lip. Comptech makes great products and their lips are VERY durable and flexible. Only downside is that double sided 3m adhesive tape. If its not heated up and on there properly, the lip begins to sag a little over time, especially if water and other garbage gets in the adhesive. If you can't find an oem lip, then I'd say get the comptech or jdmshit front lip for your 98+ front end. (BTW, there's a thread in the GDD forum that says comptech just closed their doors for business a day or two ago).
