Default Mid 90s accord front lip on EK?

Ok, so im having the hardest time trying to find an OEM lip for my EK. There are several 94-97 accords for sale in my area, and i was wondering if the front lip from one of these will fit my EK, or if anyone has gotten one to fit.

Pictures would be awesome if anyone has any.

Which OEM lip are you looking for in the first place? There are three for your front end.

NOFX!!

anyway, i didnt know there were that many haha

Ive been looking for the one that looks like this one. I found this in another thread and it said its commonly called the "SiR" lip.

I was just wondering whether the optional lip on the 94-97 accords would fit also

The shape of the lips are different. You can change the shape of it with a heat gun. The lip on the silver ek is an sir lip.

i was hoping not to dish out that much for a lip though.

So back to the original question, does anyone know whether the lip from a 94-97 Accord will fit my EK (with as little modification as possible)?

There are replica lips galore on eBay too. This is a fairly common lip to find fakes of.

yeah but im very weary of ebay. i dont like giving out my payment info, and i dont trust things like paypal. Ive been having problems with "membership service" companies charging me for services im not receiving, so i dont feel like risking getting ripped off at the moment.

Im just trying to find a lip locally if possible, and these accords are the best ive found. I just wanna know if it will fit before i proceed.

I got one for my old accord for like $32 brand new from Honda. Might be worth checking your local dealer out.

You're not at a loss. Create a paypal account, and buy one off eBay if you're not willing to buy OEM. You're not at a loss unless you give up, then you lose. Paypal is secure. Find a legit, reputable seller with a good percentage rating, that has sold many parts to justify the good percentage. Buy. Have lip.(paint lip?) Install lip. Drive.

Many, many, many people have successful sales through eBay. Just do what 99_hb_on_air said. As long as you know what you're looking for and you know how eBay works you'll be fine.
