There are a lot of websites out there, just make sure what you are buying isn't a knock off.

I got one from them in 2004, off of e-bay. It was listed as:
98-01 Integra ABS Type R lip, JDM 99

I verified that it could be used on my 2000 LS (usdm)

The section near the turn signals is curved upward, like the OEM.

I used 2 screws in each wheel well, and 1 screw under my front license plate.

To keep it from getting pushed upward, because it has no connection points for under the bumper...I wedged some hard foam between the lip and the bumper.

I bought a swimming pool "noodle" and sliced out 1/8th of it. Then I stuffed it between the lip and the bumper.

You can not see the noodle.

Save your money, and look on craigslist for guys getting rid of the real Type R lips. Since a bunch of guys are going with the JDM front end, I am sure there are a lot of type r owners selling their Usdm front end.

also i bought a mugen front lip for my civic off of ebay, and it came twisted up, all i had to do was heat it up with a heat gun and molded it to the shape of my front bumper and it fit good.

No experience with e-bay lips here, but a little piece of advice would be to make sure you get an actual "Type-R oem" lip and not a "Type-R style" lip. These are two different types of lip, and used very interchangably on many websites selling aftermarket lips so it gets a little confusing.
Goodluck with your search

I got mine off of ebay for 58$ shipped. fitment was perfect and came w/ mounting kit. I just bought some 3m tape for a little extra security. I also bought some matching paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com/spray_paint.asp. You just give them your paint code and there ya go!! If ya need the person I got mine from just pm me.

they fit fine. easy to paint too, little wax and grease remover and blast away.

the real type r lip doesn't curve out as much as this one does. if it's worth spending $250 versus 70, you're call. here's a side view of the $70 lip listed on ebay

Yeah the $70 lip is the "Type-R Style Lip" which is not the same as the OEM Type-R lip, not to say that is worse i happen to like the Type-R style lip.. which is why i have one

its only obvious its not going to look the same. My worries is that it fits the car. Ive heard stories where the lips fit shorter on one side than the other and that not what i want.

you run the risk of **** not fitting any time you buy car parts, especially off of ebay... If in doubt call the company prior to ordering for reassurance.

The fact you searched for integra parts means your looking at parts that are for integras. they should fit
