I noticed they now have a replica of the ITR front lip. I know some people have used their lips in the past but I was curious how many people have tried these yet. How do they look? Fitment? I was looking at purchasing the 94-97 OEM lip from Acura however I wanna say chances are it will come prepainted Championship White which...meh. The comptech lips are damn near impossible to find now too so I am seeing what else is out there. Any experiences with this lip?

 

the 94-97 looks alright, but the 98-01 loooks like Sh*t just like all the fake 98-01 lips online

 

For reference:

 

bottom one looks more buyable

 

Yeah I know. The 94-97 lip actually looks pretty good but I'm still unsure. I want to see this lip on a car first. I'm too OCD about fitment to just settle.

 

OEM ITR lips are available pre-painted in White, black and Yellow.

 

97 ITR lips however are only pre-painted in white I would presume. I need the thing not painted at all.

A bit pricey but worth every penny.

 

the 98-01 itr lip, the bottom corners stick out a lot compared to oem

 

$140 for aftermarket lip
$50-100 for paint depending on shop and quality
$20 for hardware....

Id say go OEM if you can get it color matched.

In the OP's case, try finding a comptech lip, or try your luck with the PWJDM unit and report back.

Plus, the OEM lip is weatherstripped.

 

Basically, all of these lips will look like **** without weatherstripping.

 

Dumb question but what difference does the weatherstipping make in the looks of the lip?

 

Doesn't make the look, really. But, what it does do is fill in that small gap between the lip and the car. Since the lip isn't molded to the car, this is as close as it gets.

This is most noticeable on 98-01 OEM sideskirts. The weatherstripping holds the skirt right up to the car while the fake one just kinda sits there.

I guess I'm just picky but I would rather pay the price of the real ****.

 

Me too.

Ever take an aftermarket lip off and notice it scratched the **** out of your bumper? Weatherstripping helps avoid this. Plus it's somewhat noticeable on the front lip on white cars sometimes, and most noticeable on the sideskirts and rear valences.
