Default Lip dont fot

im going to take pics when i can but i ordered a mugen style lip and now its a bit bigger on the sides then it needs to be. So whats the easiest way to put a lip on just screw in the sides and go to the middle to make it fit? Alright thanks in advance.

Is it the correct lip for your car? If it doesn't fit properly, I'd send it back and request a refund.

why "make" anything fit, I agree, take it back.

I've see all these abs plastic and poly lips for 92-95 civic's that go for like 30-50.

Why not go ahead and spend like 45 more dollers and get a jdmshit lip that i've heard nothing but good **** about.

Just remember you get what you pay for.

You payed for the lip so make them give you a lip that fits.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble here but the JDMshit lip I got didn't hardly fit at all. it was an 1/8" short on the driver side and a 1/4" short on the passenger side. the ends wouldn't reach to wrap around into the wheel wells, had to cut 'em off and screw in through the outside of the lip, looks ok on the driver side but still short on the passenger side. other than that it looks clean and straight and quality is top notch, just doesn't fit right.

i heard a lot of ABS lips dont fit at first try....i bought 2 one mugen replica and one type-r style for my car and my friends...my friend tried to put his on first and called me up saying it didnt fit. he said it was off about a 1/2 or more on each side. before calling up the place i got it at, i tried to put mine on my car....and guess what? 1/2-3/4 an inch off on each side...so i searched on h/t and found out that a lot of them need to be heated up either by the sun for a few hours or by a blow dryer to make the plastic flex a lil more.....so i tried this..and after a while WALAH! i got it to fit...first i got it to fit and mounted it a lil too low but it only fit just enough to mount so i left it on there for a week or two so the lip would mold to the bumper shape...then i remounted the sides and thats it! hope this helps, dont give up on the lip...
