What year is it? The front ends are different for 96-98 than 99-00. I think that the the 96-98 style has more options and i've grown to like it more than the 99-00.
But both have more choices than the ones listed. Let us know what style front end you have and we'll be able to help you out a bit more.

Theres a huge thread on this in Apperrance and cosmetics already i believe. But theres a buttload depending on your price range.

OEM EM1 Si (also 99-00 CTR)- around $100-250
Greddy-$200-300
J's racing (96-98 front)- $350-600
Chargespeed (99-00)- $300-600
Ebay spoon-$60-180
Authentic mugen-$600-1000
Fake moogen-$20-100
First molding-$800-1000
SIR (96-98)-$80-180
Authentic mugen (96-98)-$300-600
OEM Type R (96-98)-$250-400

And there's a few more out there i think, but thats all i could come up with at the moment. Most of these are discontinued, and most vary in price depending on location, condition, and timing.

Ive seen a few people using the stock lip off of the Fit, looks pretty good IMO.

what kind of a budget are we talking here. retrofitting something that was never meant to fit will probably make you happy for 5 mins, but 2 hours later you'll regret it. You could always scoop up a OEM SIR lip for fairly cheap on ebay. Or a replica CTR lip, the OEM CTR replica that is, and not that funky jutty f*cked up copy.

Low Budget=Ebay, I just picked up a polyurathane ctr replica for my 98 hatch for $50 shipped, looks great and fits perfect. Its better then trying to retro fit some other oem lip or making one from lowes.

If your on a budget then the knockoff parts are the cheapest way to go. The SiR lip is OEM and can be found for pretty cheap though. There are many lips for the 96-98 but most of them will be expensive due to them being discontinued. My suggestion is a CTR replica for a tight budget.

OEM is the only way to go if you are worried about fitment, but if most replica lips fit and look just fine. My 2 cents
