Default streetstyler?

i have a 97 civic sedan and i bought a 96-98 sir style front lip from streetstyler.com and it fits funny. does anyone else have this problem?
notice near the wheel well. its too big so when i mounted it i had to raise the ends up just to screw it in. just wondering if anyone is as dumb as me to buy from here?

Every "Style" part I've ordered from JDMsh!t has fit as good or better than the original.

It all depends on the manufacturer of the knock-off.

I've never even heard of that company.

i've never heard of problems with JDMsh!t's fitment.

I myself have certainly not had any.

I've installed 2 mugen lips, 3 ctr grills and one ctr rear lip from them and all fit flawlessly.

First off, you mounted your SiR lip really ******* weird.

I ordered mine from JDMSh!t, and it was a little long as well. I just have it not sunk completely on both sides, there's a little gap.

"Prefect" fitment .... I'm going to have to say no, from my personal experience. One "Mugen" urethane and one "SiR" urethane .... neither fit quite right. I don't have the cash right now to replace it, so I live with it. I had to drill out all the holes bigger than they popped out, three of the tabs didn't line up, so I had to drill new holes in them, and the sides are a little too long.

They make a good product for the money, but it's far from perfect.

Upon further inspection .....

Streetstyler doesn't even sell "SiR" lips. The only people I know of that sell knockoff SiR lips is JDMSh!t.

His lip on my computer just looks like a strip of black at the bottom of his bumper that blends in with the shadow under the car and blends in with the lower grill opening.

Streetstyler.com sucks. bought a type-r lip from em and it broke a whole month later. But like they say you pay for what you get. So i bought a new lip from Password, and im happy with it. Fit better and has held up for a year now

From what I understand, be happy you ever even got it. I've heard of many complaints of StreetStyler never sending items (often because the customers finally cancel after so long) or taking forever to send them.

i think heeltoe also sells SIR lips.

But yea, the OP one is a "type r" style or whatever its called.

I have heard good stuff about JDMsh!t's lips, as seems to be the general concensous of this thread
