Pisses me off its too short on one side.. Is that what I get for buying eBay parts? Or am I stupid? I'm a Honda noob just got a stock 94 eg. Thought I'd make her look purty before swappin her out. But this type r lip is about 3 inches too short horizontally and i thought maybe it was supposed to be a tight fit.. But it won't fit! Am I just fuking retarted man or what. Someone give me some input please.

 

sounds like it

 

BCUZ ITS FAKE DUM ***

 

The lip is suppose to be a tight fit. You should have also gotten 4 screws; two go on each side to hold it in place. When I got mine, it was a little short too. Easiset way I found to do it is, to put the center on first than wrap it around the bumper. Before you screw it to the bumper, make sure that it`s straight all the way across or else it`ll look stupid haha.

 

eBay parts are always a hit or miss. Always expect to make modifications for the knock offs you buy from the bay

 

This is so true. For the price, you might as well do mod by yourself. Drill a screw hole or something to make it fit.

 

Are you sure it's for your year Civic? Well the question answers itself, "ebay" it's either decent or ****.

 

Lol unbelievable...

eBay lips are fine. It sounds like you probably received the wrong one. My mugen rep fit almost perfectly on my EG. It seemed maybe half an inch short on the side but still fit just fine.

 

Make sure its the right lip. If it is take a heat gun and warm it up, it will make it stretch out.

 

Your topic title basically sums it up for the most part. You get what you pay for, but I'm sure with a heat gun and or other modifications you can get it to fit properly.

IMO - it's worth spending the extra money just for the quality.

 

Hit or miss and you get what you pay for.

You say this as if ebay is a brand or that they are all made by the same company.

 

^THIS

You get what you pay for

 

I've had 2 ebay lips that fit perfectly fine and never broke... Just have to find the right seller on ebay, next time read the feedback.

 

be careful with heat guns....
i was playing with one at work, not realizing they get so hot. We got one that'll get up to 800-900 degrees in about a minute. (or enough to take hair off your hair in an instant)lol

 

you dont have to use a heat gun you can just leave it out in the sun for about 20 -30 mins (depending on where you live, the hotter = less time out) it makes it flexible enough to manouver into place

 

most of the time when ordering off ebay make sure to leave a message to the seller reguarding the year and make of the car for whatever products you are ordering... but as everyone else stated it is a hit and miss process dealing with ebay sellers

 

Go to feedback, display 200 items per page, ctrl+f what you're looking for. Helps so you can read feedback on the EXACT product you're ordering. I've steered away on many items by doing this and went with a different seller with no issues whatsoever.
