Default front lip

I'm looking at buying a new lip for the ol' lude. I'm in a 94 SI and I'm looking at the 94-95 accord type R lip. Do you know anything about this lip? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

This might make it easier
1. Does it bolt up without mod?
2. Is it a good product? (It is only 20, so i have my reservations)


I'm also curious about any nice rear lips. Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry that pic was supposed to be a link to the ebay auction

I'm guessing it's made out of ABS plastic, but don't hold me on that, and the product as you call it is from Honda so it will be like taking a lip from an USDM Accord, you'll probably need to drill in new holes to be able to bolt it up to your Prelude's bumper. And do yourself a favor becareful if you're buying on ebay. Don't just go by the price.
EDIT: your picture is not working.

Yeah I have the same lip, so does a few other H-T members here as well. As for fitment, you will have to drill some holes in the lip for it to fit. yes it is a great product. As for the rear lip, I don't about the firment, but I know that some stock accord lips fit. But yes you will have to drill holes on the lip to make it fit.

I say go for it!

No you dont have to keep the stock lip on. I never had a front OEM lip, and it fits ok. Here is a pic.

nope, i took the stock lip off also.

the screws and hardware weren't even CLOSE to being long enough to go thru ATR, OEM, then bumper. plus then you would hafta worry about drilling/lining up 3 holes instead of just 2

Look again...

I personally do not like the Accord Type-R lip on a Prelude, however, that fiberglass lip above, I am partial too.
