Default I thought the Accord lip was bolt up? Or am I retarded...

I got a rear lip from a 94 accord today at the junk yard, hoping to replace my non existing one on my prelude, and its a lot longer going towards the wheel then I thought.

Do I just need to do some cutting, or am I mistaken on it fitting.

Thats about as good of pictures I have...Basically just put the 2 outside peices on then cut the middle to fit in between the 2 sides. then cut the side peices where they stick into the fender well.

dremel ftw

I also used it to cut the accord lip.
Next project is to make it fit with the rear mudflaps.

Someone on here has the rear lip that looks like it's molded to the mudflaps it's so close. It looks clean...

Anyone else seen what I'm talking about?

I've seen it done with the stock accord rear mudflaps and it looks a lot cleaner, I just hate mud flaps so I didn't go that route.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, I got this picture off preludeonline.

Your rear lips look glossy. Are they painted?

Also can you elaborate on which ends need to be cut. THanks

It's really not that hard

take off your old lip
take some blocks and prop up the new lip under the bumper
center the new lip and cut off excess on edges
take a marker and mark where holes need to be drilled
drill holes and mount

you can also use a hairdryer or heat gun to help form the lip when mounting.

i personally went to home depot and got some black outdoor plastic paint for a bit more of a glossy look
