Default Lip Spoliers

Does anyone know where I can pick up a reasonably-priced front lip spoiler that is either black or carbon fiber? I need something for the cone that is stockish. No gaudy ricer wings please... Any help would be appreciated!

Are you referring to the lip spoiler addition to the stock ITR wing, or a front lip replacement/addon?

I'm referring to the front lip spoiler. I need a replacement, since I didn't get one with the car like I was supposed to.

Are you looking for new or used?

OEM I think is either around the same price as or just a bit more than say the Comptech OEM copy, and IIRC you may be still able to find an OEM lip painted PY or NBP which in your case is sorta moot but you said you liked black. I don't know any other body kit manufacturers that make exact replicas for the USDM front.

Wings West and some other companies make a USDM ITR lip knockoff but it doesn't fit anywhere near as good as OEM (obviously)

We bought a 97 ITR lip from comptech for my sisters integra and it had not-so-good fitment. I recommend the OEM lip in Y-56 of course.

in Y-56 of course lol... i used to have an OEM replica that was made from carbon fiber that fit like NOTHING else, it was a bit of a bitch to get on, but once you got past that you didn't even need the screws to keep it on, such a tight fit. so i used 1 screw on each side instead of 2 just in case i miss that lip

I just put the VIS on my car about a month ago and now I scrape every freakin thing! I am a total of 3.5" from the ground in the front. Considering getting rid of it already.

Mine has stock suspension, the lowest point on the VIS lip on my car is about 4.75"

I've scraped once, no visible damage was done though.
