i have a 96 ej8 and i wasnt sure between a rear lip or a set of mud guards. LMK what you think

 

OEM rear lip? Go for it.

 

I think it depends on what the car looks like. Should post a picture.

 

Depends on the car and depends on the lip you're interested in.

 

both. you just have to modify the mud guards a bit.

 

like the last two said depends on the car 92-95 or 96-00 civic sdn/hb/coupe for my car (92 gsr) its almost impossible to find a rear lip so i just got the flaps for the back

Speaking of which, have you gotten those brackets blueprinted yet?

yup! so if your willing to do that much work then go for it.. but if not, just stick with the stock rear lip..

Or just get mud flaps they're easier to find.. i think you can get them on ebay..

 

mud flaps, unless you find an oem rear lip (very hard to get). Ebay ones are really a hit or a miss in terms of fitment and quality.

Kind of. They're taken, I was just trying to edit / clean them up on my comp. I told Amy though that someone else might be better for the job as I've got alot going on lately.

It's cool, just a little disappointing to hear "I'll get them tomorrow." like four times. Completely understand having a busy schedule. Amy worked like 18 days with one day off in between. I've been working 50 hours a week to compensate other employees leaving. So yeah, just get them to us whenever you can.

Even the unedited ones would be somewhat helpful. I've got tomorrow off, so if you can get them to either her or me tonight in SOME form, I'll be able to get them to a machine shop tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, it was offered for 1998 Civic EX's only (as part of a full lip-kit package).

A lot of assbags break the brackets off and use double-stick tape to put them on the 99-00 bumper .... hence the conversation above. Shorty is being kind enough to make blueprints of the brackets so my girlfriend can get her lip on.

 

so a 96 coupe bumper and a 96 civic type r rar bumper are the same? so th itr lip fit on the coupe? and arent 96-00 civic coupe rear bumpers the same?

No. A 96-98 tapers differently at the bottom than the 99-00, they are NOT the same.

Not at all.

Here's the interchangeability rundown:

96-00 Civic 3dr bumpers = ALL SAME [All lips fit all years]
96-98 Civic 2/4dr bumpers = ALL SAME [Lip fit both bodies]
99-00 Civic 2/4dr bumpers = ALL SAME [Lip/valence fit both bodies]

96-98 bumper fits on 99-00 body [and vise versa]

 

well my car is a 96 ej8 with a 2000 front conversion. so basically my rear bumper will take a 96-98 ctr rear lip?

Do the Civic Type R come as a coupe?

No, it won't fit. Only the stupid "Type R Style" parts will fit. The lip you are talking about is modeled after the 99-00 Civic USDM optional lip.
