Alright, well after mixed reviews from my night photos of my new lip I decided to take some daytime shots. Its still "technically" mounted wrong, haha. In the daylight though I don't think it looks as horrible. Eventually I'm sure I'll fix it, but for now I'll just try to avoid bugs on the road to keep it in place Thanks for looking!

Thanks! I'll take that as a compliment, haha. And apparently the fitting issue is because the top of the lip is supposed to wrap up into the grill. I don't know why I didn't think of that. First lip I've ever mounted. Live and learn I suppose

 

I dont think its that bad.

 

IMO that lip is just way too big and just doesn't flow well.

 

Installed right, or wrong... that lip is hideous on ALL Honda's.

Get the stock Si looking lip that is available.

 

this looks decent for some reason hahah

Thanks for the opinion. The only thing that makes it look so big is that it SHOULD be wrapped over the top of the bumper. I've seen it on some other cars now that I've mis-installed mine. D'oh!

 

Man that looks terrible! It sags pretty bad in certain areas....

The Si lip is a little bland in my opinion. I'm not gung-ho on flashy parts or anything but it just seems like EVERY sol is rockin' that lip. Not that it looks bad but I really wanted this one. If only I had learned to install it before I started bolted stuff down, haha.

Haha, yeah for some reason that picture captures how it looks in person. And it doesn't sag as bad as it looks. Its pulled right up the bumper. I think it just has to do with needing the front pulled up and over. Thanks though.

 

My god Ian, what have you done...

Besides 3/4 of your female family? Oh, the lip?! I see. I've unintenionally installed it wrong, haha. Everything I read about lip mounting was for the ex/si. I think if I get it right, I"m gonna do a DIY. Nothing gave me the clue that it was supposed to be pulled up and over the front grill area.

 

I bet it looks even worse in person

Next!

 

Something halfway unique would be getting this hatch lip to fit,

92-95 civic si/ex lip will look better

Yeah but I only payed $35 for mine shipped (courtesy of a hook up). Don't get me wrong I think that would look sweet. But with as "great" (/sarcasm) as I did with this install I don't think I should be entrusted with carbon fiber just yet

 

you don't have a friend that could be entrusted with installing that lip?

 

haha...looks kinda like mine did. I actually liked it like this better than the correct way. Sportin the OEM lip now...

Haha, actually 3 friends were involved. How we mucked it up I haven't the slightest. You did read the title of the thread, right? Maybe I should changed "idiot" to "idiots".
