How Can I tell its OEM?
HT im not sure if this is in the right section, Im not sure if it should be in the Apperance cosmetic forum, but I was wondering how you can tell An SI lip is OEM or not? Should there be a vin number on it or something. Im actually picking up an "si lip" on friday, and I was just curious on what I should look for to see if it is OEM or not.
Also, what about an SI front strut bar? The guy Im picking it up from says there is no encrytion or anything on the bar, so how can I tell its came from an SI? He said he cousin gave it to him, and he has an eg... so im kinda skeptical, what do you think would be a good price for it also? Thanks for the help in advanced guys

wt he said. and the material on the OEM lip is very noticeble compared to that "ABS".
as for the strut bar ill test it out tomorrow and let ya know if its the same between si and integra (they look the same)

Don't pay no more then 30 for a used lip because I've went to junkyards that sell Si lips for like 10-15 bucks lol... As for struts I'm not to sure on the value of that esp. for a stock one...

The rear oem 99-00 si lips say honda on the inside. I wouldn't be suprised if the fronts do too.

That is way, way to much to pay for an OEM strutbar. Have you checked the classifieds, or http://www.car-part.com?

Ha Ha, somehow I don't think this would be the first time you got ripped off. Maybe it is a CTR strut bar, its the same thing but red. i think those ones are worth like $150
maybe you should just go on E-bay and get one of those $15 bars

Re: How Can I tell its OEM? (Cboy1-EG6)
oem should have a bunch of those screw holes. around 10 or so for the lips. also, the metal tab should be on it still because they're hard to take off and will leave scratches if you tried. so, look for those. good luck.
