After wading through all 162 topics that got returned when I searched for SI lip, I've come to you guys. I can get a free SI lip if it'll fit on my 97 ek hatch. I don't think it will, but what do you guys say?

Most likely you will need a 99-00 front end. But if you know anyone that is good at making things fit you never know.

if your getting it for free you can make it fit. with some modifications it will without a doubt fit.

And if you dont want it, ill pay shipping + $5 for it.

wont fit without modding it

If you're getting it for free, get it, and if you can't make it fit, sell it .

Yeah. I've got a friend with an SI lip on a 98 4door and it's a little bit long. What do you guys suggest to make it fit??

The si lip will fit almost flush with minor modification. I have a '96 hatch and had a '00 si lip on mine before i did my '00 si front end conversoin. The lines of the bumper and the curves are identical for 96-98 and 99-00, all you gotta do is cut the lip in the middle and remove ~1 inch or so from the middle or whatever it is so that it's a flush fit and then fiberglass the lip from the back and repaint the thing. It will be like OEM.

BTW it looks AWESOME, i've had the JDM SiR lip as well on my old front end but i cracked it (car is tucking all around) so i put the si and it looked mint, it was flush with the rest of the body lines of the car (rocker panels) it was the same level. ALso it's MUCH better looking than the dirty ABS plastic POS replicas.

Ok guys lets swap out a whole front end to get a 100.00 lip to fit.

Yes bro it will fit with little modification.

Ricey McRicerton

Bah, the guy who was going to give it to me flaked and now wants to charge me 50 dollars for it. Oh well, now I'm getting the JDMSh!t one instead and painting it myself. Screw cutting it up and remoulding it.

Don't get a replica, they look ******* awful and i never EVER saw anybody with a OEM Si lip around here put on a 96-98 hatch. Really it's very simple, it's nowhere near as hard or labour intensive as it seems, and it's worth it.

The JDMSh!t replica looks exactly like the SI lip to me. How did you cut it and rebond it?? I'd be doing all of the painting and such myself..thats why I figured I could do the replica just as cheap. 85 bucks vs. 50 bucks htne whatever it takes me to make it fit.

This and OEM SI lip are totally different



Just read up basic info and fiberglass the si lip once cut to spec and repaint it flat black.

Ricey McRicerton

You glassed the lip back together?? Damn...I do fiberglass stuff, so this should'nt be a big deal at all. Thanks for your help!

fcuked

Yes, just simple fiberglass from the back. Just make very clean cuts so that the ends match up. The result is MINT.
