My lip sucks!
well here's a short story
I actually picked up the car at the body shop where the lip was being fixed due to the previous owner running it into a parking curb.
fast forward 3.5 years, I have NEVER hit anything with it. the paint has managed to peel its way off the lip and also the hack repair job by the body shop has caused the lip to completely crack in 2 places.
anyway. I want a new one. I was just curious what my options are.
I wouldn't mind a new oem one and I will just mold it and make myself one out of carbon or kevlar
thanks for the help

Holy destroyed lip batman!
Looks repairable though, by a panel shop with some plastic-welding talent. My OEM-optional sideskirt was destroyed much worse than that and they fixed it up fine...

not really the first few years it was just minor paint chips and didn't think much of it
but then recently the paint has been literally falling off when I wash the car

I hope that is not true... That sucks if it is....

I wonder if Comptech is still making the lip?

Re: (iheartintegras)
The JDMSH!T replica of the 97 ITR lip is pretty damn good.
I had one on my 95 Integra, it fit pretty well. Just had to force it across the bumper
But it worked and it looks fine.
I can see the difference in the replica 98-01 ITR lips but the 97 ITR lip is hard.
