I just installed my lip this weekend (I posted pics in the Appearance Forum) but upon further review, I think that it is tilted.

Here's mine:


Here's another example (if this is your car tousche):


I didn't use the OEM Clips just aligned it to the black lip on the stock bumper, if I get the OEM Clips do I have to worry about alignment or will it automatically fit? Also, if I do decide to get them, what exactly do I ask for? Thanks for all the help.

Is it the same lip???
On the demo car you can see the paint along the underside of the grill. I say get the oem clips and see if its still giving you trouble. I just put the oem Si lip on my hatch, had to work with it to get it to fit, also used some self tapping screws on the underside.

 

your lip is mounted upwards, in the middle you should be able to see the bumper then the lip below it

i dont know about hte lip clips, but for most honda/acura lips there are just screws on the side, then like 7 or so screws on the bottom with the clips as markers guides

 

its does look a little off center towards the passenger side, but i say just take it off and tape it on then screw it in. but other than that it looks good

 

I wish I took a picture of it off the car, but the lip seems like it just kinda sits on top of the bottom portion of the grill I can't think of anywhere else it should go... it's kind of wierd. I'm thinking about cutting it so it looks like the example.

scott i think you got a different brand than that in the picture. thats why its sitting on top of the bumper in the center. remember when i asked about the color it comes as. i was looking around and the one in the picture only comes in white, yours came in two colors. thats why it looks off. hit me up and ill catch u at the x tomorrow, maybe some tony hawk 3. buh bye now.

 

Yea, I don't think it's the real deal either, but it looks ok... just want to make sure the thing is aligned...

Scott

Tony Hawk is a must.

 

what kinda of lip is that??

 

How much do OEM lips cost?

 

it looks okay

what kinda lip? cost?

 

Looks dope!

Chamleon has a great pictioral... http://www.jdmvtec.com

 

It's a Type R Lip for an EG

Mine was $99.99 shipped off from Ebay. However, it didn't come with any mounting instructions/hardware, kinda just gave it a wirl.

Scott

Woot- Thanks for the link

 

that looks bad *** i cant wait to put mine on my coupe im gona wait for paint time though.

 

Man, I really didn't think that I would get such positive comments... even with it installed incorrectly

There are more pics in my link on my sig if you guy's wanna check it out.

'They are the ones at the end

looks fine man, looks exactly like my hatch, i bought mine for 45 bucks shipped on ebay. don't worry you're "straight".

 

Here is a pic of mine. Notice how you can see the painted part of the bumper and then the lip. On your is looks like the lip is covering the covered part. I lined mine were the paint and unpainted portions of the bumper meet.

 

See, mine has a little lip that covers the part you are talking about. I'm thinking about cutting it off... but I don't know

 

Ahhh i see. In that case it looks like you need to raise the ends up that mount in the fender well.

 

Yea, I guess I'll have to do that. Too bad I didn't get the right thing in the first place.

 

I got mine for $50 from a member on this board. Dealer is like $80 (Last I checked).

 

It also looks like you have gaps on the sides. Use 3M double sided tape(thick, strong stuff) It will also help hold it onto your bumper better and may help in fitment issues!

 

Any luck with fixing your lip yet? I bought an OEM lip brand new for $66 from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and used hardware purchased from Home Depot. I am not sure about the aftermarket lip, but my OEM lip has holes predrilled into the bottom of the lip which align with the holes that are on the underside of the bumper. OEM lip install is a no brainer....really hard to mess up And yeah, your lip looks like it sits too high in the middle (you should still be able to see painted bumper all the way across the top of the lip if installed properly). I hope my info helped out a bit...

 

Did you buy a Type R Style Lip??? If so, for $66, I could see if I could sell the one I just got and buy a new one.

I won't get a chance to mess with the lip until this weekend since I am up at school and live in the dorms.

 

I spent 200 bucs on my front and rear..

I dunno if it is right or not.. i have not got around to putting mine on yet..

 

Hmmm, that looks similar to my EK CTR front lip. It has that edge in the middle too.

Might want to check if you got the right part.
