Showing some DC2 lip action here. 56k friendly (for the moment)
For easter weekend, I had my bodyshop prep, prime, paint and install my comptech lip. There are some "before" photos taken, but I dont have them handy at the moment. Enjoy these for now.

The sanding, prime, paint job and installation cost roughly $150. The comptech lip was a gift from Uncle Sam's tax refund

Krylon glass paint. Get orange.
I originally bought yellow based on feed back from other guys on H-T but the color is way off. Two light coats of orange and youre done. Any more and the color will be too dark. You might actually do fine with just one coat.
I used a heat lamp to warm up the lights and also speed up the drying process. It came out better than i had thought. Thanks for noticing.

i'm really digging it.... IMO no 94-97 front bumper should be without that lip... it totally changes the whole feel of the car..
I LOVE IT.

These were taken on the day of installation.
Before:
After:
Look at the attention to detail. The screws were even painted.
The color is a bit off mainly because my car is 8 years old and the lip is 1.5 hours old.
Enjoy

You have a nice ride.
I rarely see any integras in NYC. I guess they're all hiding. Heaps of accords and civics though.

Nice car but the lip looks a bit lighter in color? Did you have the sideskirts painted as well? How much did that cost?
