Looks good, you purchased the CTR style lip I see. The 97 ITR lip doesnt fit into the grill at all but the CTR doesnt look bad at all on a 94-97. Ive seen some with it on 98+ and they are hideous lol. Hurry up and post pics of it painted! And lastly, welcome fellow Sedan owner!

Oh, So it is a CTR Lip haha. I kinda figured that too, but the store I bought it from said it was ITR so yeah -_-". It still looks good imo. And I;m trying to get everything done asap, but the paint didn't fully dry last night and the waiting process continued onto today =/. But thanks!

Thanks I'll be posting a whole bunch of pics by tomorrow. Didn't get finish my goals yet.

Unfortunately I did not finish painting because the paint didn't set right so I moved onto other things to do . But here's some progress for today.

Cleaned up the Engine Bay and Under the Hood


Removed my Cruise Control (It never worked anyways)

30 minutes? I've been looking around and have been thinking about it, but people say that you have to use a certain paint & primer because of the heat under the hood. And that if you remove the cover you might have to replace some gaskets? idk lol, but thanks.

here you go man. haha.
1. take off valve cover
2. use aircraft stripper to remove paint
3. sand with 220 grit til smooth.
4. use engine enamel of your choice, or wrinkle paint if you have an oven you'll never cook in again.
5. use a new gasket kit (25 bucks)
6. put it back together
Now you're done! taaaadaaaaa

Thanks bro.

Here are some more pics of what else got done tonight.

Yeah, its a CTR lip. But I didnt have to deal with eGay lips and sketchy shipping from other websites. The lip is slowly growing on me and I'm getting to like it haha.


Side Shot w/ Skirts on. Test fitting the lip.
