i dont like the oem lip because it doesnt wrap around the whole bumper as the ctr does.. I dont want to paint it because it will just get fucked up anyway. Where is the best place to get it? and am i mistaken?.. the oem lip from a us honda dealer and the ctr are diff correct?

 

Just spray paint it with Flat Black paint. But IMO the ctr lip will not look pretty in flat black. Its too big. You can get away with the flat black color on 96-98 SIR or 99-00 Si lips cause their smaller. It will look way better painted trust me.

If you really want an original ctr lip then try options.com, inlinefour.com, jdmhondaparts.com to name a few. But if your ok with a copy then look for the wingswest one. Its identical to the ctr with quality to match. And easy on the wallet.

 

what year lip are you looking for?
96-98
99-00
or the 02+ ctr lip
anyways the 99-00 lip is essentailly our SI one

 

 

nobody ever believes me when I say that the 99-00 CTR lip is different from the Si lip... but I finally found evidence, so its up to you guys to decide...

Hey you are right. they totally look different.

 

LOL. That's because the lip shown below isn't an oem Honda part.

It's a "CTR copy/style", and not a very good one at that.

i think it looks good, even if it is a copy

 

that hatch with the gsr's looks nuts!!!

 

fair enough... but it still looks slightly different in this picture...

That lip on the silver hatch is NOT a Type R! If its the same guy I'm thinking of, he admitted that it was a COPY.

Still looks good IMO.

 

Type R lip


Fake R lip

 

Where can I get the fake one?

 

yeah that looks like will's old silver hatch.

the fake/copy CTR lip looks more like an s2000 front lip replica
