so i installed my Si VTEC lip last night.. it looks great!

except there's just one thing that's bothering me.. it's tugging on the lower edges of the bumper so that they sit just a wee bit outward. i remember when i tried to install a comptech ITR lip some time ago, it did the same thing. is this normal and should i just learn to ignore it?

i don't think anyone will notice besides myself, but i'm just so ****.

just fyi, i used all the stock mount points (obviously), so there wasn't much room for error.

 

An Si VTEC lip fits?! You gotta post some pics....

 

hehe.. JDM 94-95 Integra Si VTEC lip, that is. i don't have pics of my own yet; i had a link to another teg w/ one, but imagestation is down..

 

I mounted a Wings West front lip and found the fit to be perfect. I recently removed it for a comptech lip that is being preped at the moment.

Did you use screws or double sided tape with screws on the ends?

 

That's what I wanna know.. I'm trying to figure out how to install my mugen style lip, i got off ebay.. it looks great & is guaranteed to fit!

 

has anyone tried pop rivets? i haven't but i wondered if it would work better..

just a thought.

-Scary

 

Here's a picture of what my lip looks like.. its the exact lip, just jacked the pix off ebay, ABS plastic so I aint gotta worry bout it breaking when i hit something..



Please give me suggestions on how to install this bad boy.. Can i use my stock brackets? I havent removed my oem lip to see what is holding up yet.. i will as soon as i get some help from ya'll..

 

mind if i ask what ya paid for it?

 

$135 shipped via fed ex from Hmotorsports.. Saw lip on ebay, emailed the seller.. and he made me an outside deal

 

nice, i may do the same thing, thanks for the info

 

No problemo

 

no, the thing mounts with clips and bolts.. 7 throughout the front, and 2 bolts on each side.

can't.. wait.. til.. winter.. is.. over..

 

Toyte, yes yes, toyte like a toyga..

I want that so bad but Im trying to decide if I should do the 98+ bumper with R lip or just stick with my 97 and get the lip :\

Do you have any better pics of the 97 one on ur car??

 

nice lookin

 

thanks guys.. i'll try to take better pics on a nice, sunny day (hopefully soon)..

so does anyone have the problem with the lip tugging on the edges a little bit?

 

Thats an older civic si lip??

 

 

its normal. i used all stock mounting points also and it slightly bends out at the lower edges as described.

 

Thats not what the mugen lip looks like for that body style

its not the authentic mugen.. its a "mugen style"

 

So you used the same mounting points that the OEM lip for the 98+ bumper does?

I am going to install my lip on my 94-97 bumper this weekend, and will have to make my own mounting points (woo, get to drill CF), and I am trying to find the best way to do it.

Some people said go for all the OEM lip hardware and mounting points, others have said two screws on the side and double sided tape.

 

not sure how 98+ lips mount, but the way mine mounted was 7 bolts and clips throughout the front, and 4 more bolts, from inside the cover; 2 on each side.

 

Do u think i can use my stock clips & bolts for my "mugen style lip?"

 

Here's mine. It's a Comptech lip.
