I've seen some people make the 96-98 oem civic rear lip fit on their 99-00 rear bumper.

For example this is ScrapinSI, he has a oem 96-98 rear lip on his 99-00 SI.


My question is, does a oem 96-98 rear lip on a 99-00 bumper, look any different than a oem 96-98 rear lip on a 96-98 bumper? I've seen pics of both, does pretty much look the same. But does anyone know for sure?

Found a pic of a 96-98 rear lip on a 96-98 bumper


Anyone seen both in person? Do they look the same? I've heard some people say that when its on the 96-98 bumper, it doesn't hang as low as it would on the 99-00 and it doesn't hang out as far from the bumper cause the 96-98 bumper is shorter?

I had a 99-00 lip on my SI. And i just like how the 96-98 lip looks.

 

even if you wanted to it is impossible to obtain this lip, slammedsi lucked out and found that thing somehow... it was discontinued before it even set foot on a store shelf... but if you want to get rid of your rear lip you are more than free to pm me.

 

The angle of the frist picture isn't that great to tell the difference.
IMO, it looks a lot better on 99-00 bumper.

 

I know how hard it is.
Even the damn replicas dont' even look like the oem, they look like the 99-00.

Oh yea, and I said HAD.

 

a i think the 96-98 lip looks better

 

Will that lip fit on a 96-98 civic 4 door?

 

Don't think it will. The rear bumpers on coupes and sedans are different I think. If i'm wrong and they are the same, then the lip should fit.

Anyway.....can anyone answer my question? Does the 96-98 lip look different on a 99-00 and a 96-98 bumper? In the pics i posted, it kinda does look like the lip fits better on a 99-00 bumper, blends in with it more.
