Default Honda del sol Lip Suggestions

Hey guys,
I am looking to get a lip for my sol. Any suggestions on where and what brand I should get. I was on ebay and I wasn't sure how the urethane lip is?

Stay away from Ebay as much as you can, no matter what parts you are buying. PasswordJDM has a few lips on their site for a decent price.

Lol- ebay parts are so obvious. If you run ebay, nobody will take you seriously. I've seen a few ebay lips and either laughable installment or bad fitment.

No one gives a sh*t if the front lip is from eBay or the store down the street. If you can installl it properly without half-assing the work, it will be fine. For Del Sols, the only front lip I would ever install is a Genuine Honda lip from a Civic EX 2dr coupe ('93-95).

i received a 95 del sol awhile back and it had a ebay front lip on it and the fitment was horrible. It was obvious the previous owner tried and tried the best they could and they was nothing they could do to make it lay flush and fit correctly.. Stay away from ebay lips for del sol..

I have seen oem style 92 95 civic lips on ebay and they also look good installed with good fitment. it seems like a 50/50 chance with ebay sometimes

You get what you pay for. Sure lips aren't much different in quality but a huge difference in fitment. It's a good thing to make a habit of staying away from ebay parts (no name/cheap parts) and spend a little extra to get the quality piece. I would take NV Turbo's advice and look into getting the lip he suggested.

I have an eBay lip on my del Sol, and it fits damn near perfect. It's originally for a 99-00 EK Civic, though.

For a del Sol, the Si/Type-R style is most common. I personally like the Spoon style lips. Also, a 99-00 Civic lip WILL fit a del Sol front bumper with zero modification, and it fit's quite well, I might add.

I have seen dc, eg, and ek lips fit just fine, although cheap quality too

Just make sure you don't buy one that was rolled up, and shipped. Those never fit well. You get little gaps here and there, because of it being rolled up. More money, yes, but I would just go to an EG front end. Looks much better, it's a bolt on affair, and the Type R lip is as good looking as any. Just my .02, could be because I kinda want one as well.
