Default Rear lip 96-00 hatchback other than type R?

Does one exist? I would like to have a thin lip that bolts up to the tabs on my rear bumper like the OEM sir lip does on the front.
This person asked the same thing and was not responded to, the only thread that is wondering the same thing as me but 4 years ago. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/oem-rear-lips-96-00-hatchback-2676147/
Not wanting to spend $200 on an sir lip or drill screws into my bumper, after seeing that they are the same width (1,704 mm) I have made use of a 93 accord front lip on my front bumper with the OEM hardware. Just had to make my own holes in the lip to match the bumper and cut the ends off where they stuck out toward the wheels.

If one doesn't exist other than the type R lip, has anyone else done something like that with the rear lip and made another Honda lip to fit a 96-00 hatchback?
Thanks

Assuming you know 96-00 hatchbacks have the same rear bumper, whilst 96-98 and 99-00 coupes/sedans are different.

Maybe you can try looking for an oem or replica 96-98 or 99-00 coupe/sedan rear lip and see if they'll fit on your hatchbacks rear bumper, then just cut off the excess that are in the wheel well area. IF THATS POSSIBLE.

Be original, be creative... The thing about Honda's is that they're so common that most things have been done already.

Perhaps, make your own lip, try a DIY lip with Garage Door seal from a hardware store like Home-Depot. Why pay $$$$$ for a front SiR lip when it's just straight black material, no special bends like the CTR or mugen? Same with this rear lip idea you have.


Because the rear bumper isn't straight, but has its curve I don't know how effective it'll be, but it's worth a shot:
Here's a nice write-up for a Mazda

I think a real car enthusiast would take the chances or be a bit daring and modify their own things to their comfort rather than piecing together and purchasing pre-made parts because THAT GUY WITH THE NICE CAR has them. Play around and you'll find things that just might start trends or inspire others.

Thanks ALittleTooHigh I thought so just wanted to make sure.
Ya ive seen some for sale here on cl they go for about 40 probably would be easy to sell again if it didn't work
CO671, I was looking at garage seal lips and some of them do look nice. I'm not sure how it would look on the rear tho.. but wont cost much to see I have seen people make one out of any lip they can find, I'm always at yards so maybe I can play around with some different ones see if any come up nice. I know that people w/ older civics accords and Integras swap around lips. Ill have to do that until I find a good one. Also woo happy 420 post

Thanks
