There's nothing you can really do. The flaps are meant to be used without the rear lip, it fits the contour of the bumper. Unfortunately you only get one or the other, flaps or a lip. Personally, I'd go with the flaps.

Zipties are the only way to do it, some people frown on that though. I rock it!

How do they fit? Is it because it is longer? I'm guessing that RSX Type S with the lip have this mudflap and would there be a different mudflap for those RSX's without a lip? Did you have to drill new holes into the mud flap? As far as you know is there any difference in mudflaps between the 2 model years? Also, would it work for coupes and sedans as well?

No new holes. Just stretch.

i hella ghetto rigged my rear lip, cut the ends of each side of the rear lip and slid the mudgaurds over the lip. Then drilled screws through the mud guards and lip into the bumper....works perfectly!

Is it possible for you to take a pic of it? Just to see what it looks like?

What do you mean by stretch? Are you pulling it tight over the lip? and if you take it off, will it leave marks on the lip?
