he does have a point.....but i will try to help....what is the lip made out of? could you heat it up and bend it to make it fit? i know some lips are shipped bent in half and you have to heat the up to make them straight. just a thought.

yes i know he/she has a point... but i was told in the eg civic forum it should pretty much fit; that is why i purchased the thing. sorry, i do not go out to buy h22a parts for my d15b on purpose.

it's plastic. aftermarket from jdmshit.com type r lip for the 92-95 civic coupe/sedan. thank you.

- somebody told me to:
1) heat
2) cut / fiberglass

Why don't you post pics of the lip where it does not fit. Maybe we can help that way.

ok....here's what i did with my 00 lip....

at the top of the lip, it starts to bend in....probalby 1/8in

i cut that off all the way around the lip and it fits really tight, it cracked a little at the end, but thats where JB weld can come in handy and act as a filler, sand it then paint it...

mine looks pretty good.....

still dont understand why people think that its gonna be such an easy thing to do. its not a simple bolt on it requires quite a bit of modification and time.
