94-95 accord Type-R style front lip looks good on preludes
have to remove half inch from each side but still..wicked..
For $50 you cant beat it! Check ebay.

Nice dude. I've got one of those on my fourth gen SE...I thought I was the only one! But I guess not. Looks sick...is that the color it's going to stay or what? Seems like an interesting color choice/combination.

this is how mine looked i cracked it in the center and since its fiberglass its so noticable and ugly so i tried fixing it and didnt work out. im jus gonna maybe look for a replica spoon lip or something. the accord type r one is nice but too small n plain for my liking.

it shouldnt be too hard to fiberglass it since it is made out of glass. sand it down a bit, then glass the back and front with cloth, sand, sand, glass again, sand, then paint.

I would fix your lip if i had the time. I have been taking the clear coat off my rims and i just painted my grills black. I have had no time to do anything. maybe in a month when things slow down if you havent fixed it of got a new one i will fix it.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ludelvr &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">To 92hondalude, haha, that's the black widow bumper huh?
