How can I tell the difference between the REAL authentic 99-00 type-R rear lip and a replica one? thx

 

authentic OEM one will have a part nuber stamped on the inside PLUS a honda stamp somewheres that looks like this

>> HONDA <<

the part number will be in >>/<< also.

 

ok and how about look wise.. because the rear lip is on the car and I can't see the >>honda<< sign.. how do I tell by looking at it.

 

First of all there was never a 99-00 coupe type r rear lip.

Its the 99-00 usdm si rear lip.

REAL:


FAKE:

 

OP did say type-r..i know there are rear lips on 99 type-r's but they are hatches like this:

I assume the OP is talking about the rear lip from a 99-00 CTR, which would be a hatchback.

The lip posted above is obviously for a coupe, and I believe its the optional Si lip, which obviously wouldnt fit the OP's hatch.

 

i think the reason why b16b_coupe posted his info is becuase OP said 99-00 not EK9 type-r. 99-00 assuming its a coupe/si.

wat? that made no sense

the only real way to know for sure is to get under the car and look at the underside of the lip, if it has all the mounting tabs than its real. The replicas come with a set of screws you gotta drill in yourself.

Not necessarily an Si lip, it was optional for the lower trims as well.

Fake ones are just bolted on around the fender well and have brackets that help support it.

 

for the 99 ek rear bumper . will a jdm type-r rear lip fit or do i need a jdm rear bumper for it to fit.

 

I dont think there is a jdm rear bumper. The CTR hb rear lip will only fit a hb bumper. The 99-00 Ek/Si rear lip fill only fit 99-00 2dr/4dr rear bumper. 96-98 rear lip fill only fit 96-98 rear bumpers. OEM Honda lips have mounting tabks inside.

 

^^^I meant will not fill.

There are JDM rear bumpers and rear lips.

The "Si" rear lip (which as said before, was available as an option for any US '99-'00 coupe) was available in Japan on the EK4 sedans I imagine.

 

most if not all fake/replica rear lips don`t go further down the undercarriage, also no recess for the muffler
