I really like my Type-R style. This picture still doesn't quite do it justice, but trust me that this lip should have been an option for the car from the factory. It makes the front end of the car.

ALRIGHT EVERYONE! I'm bringing this thread back from the dead!

I too have a 1998 honda accord sedan and I was wondering on a proper front lip I don't want some crazy ricer looking crap with vents and funky curves all over it.

I like the type r picture now I'm wondering what the mugen looks like.

Any help with pictures?

Go to eBay and look at seller's pictures?

Go to the CG picture thread?

That should work. That seller is good too, they have sold me both of my front lips.

Thanks for the quick responses guys, Dam, it's so hard to choose.

I'm leaning towards that type-r though, it seems like it flows better.

Unless you guys have any input, I just put pics of my car I believe towards the end of the 3rd page on the accord picture thread. I'm thinking if I get a lip I should have it painted or not..

And how exactly are they put on? Any drilling for holes required?

Sorry for all the questions, but better to ask then find out things the hard way..

I think the "Mugen" style looks alright but I agree with you that the "Type-R" style flows with the body better. I get compliments on my front end now all the time because it makes the car look more aggressive and lower in the front.

To install, you just need to drill AT LEAST one hole on each end of the lip into the fender (for reference I've just used one on each end and have had no problems. If you want to use two go ahead). You may want to use some double sided tape or screws to secure the middle to the bumper. You may be able to get by without it, but I did it anyway.

Here is another picture of my front lip from a better angle. I like the look of the black with my dark green paint. I don't think it would look very good color matched with that green, but other colors may look better.



Good luck!
