thanks everyone for your inputs and recomendations to go back with OEM parts. I took the bodykit out and put in the OEM parts. I will get my car today with a new look. My question for all of you is what type of front lip should i put to my car? I know there is different types of lip. What do you guys recommend? I am looking for something good, that last long, and affordable.

Thanks

i would change to 1998 or higher bumper and headlight and thats it. If you don't like that then you can put a type r lip on it ebay does sale them.

Thanks guy. I saw in ebay a USDM type r lip. Is that the same as a JDM lip? How about the mugen lip?

Okay here are a few things you need to know for lip-hunting on eBay.


If you upgrade to a 98-01 front end....

1) Get JDM out of your head. There is no "JDM" lip for a USDM Integra. Its all hype to sell their product.

2) Be careful when looking for an ITR lip. There is the OEM Type-R lip and then there is also a wacked out version going by the name of Type-R lip...I was fucked into buying one of them from Tunerz-Image when they first opened up...assuming it was a real-deal replica.


If you stick with a 94-97 style lip...

1) There is a Type-R lip that is a replica of the 1997 ITR OEM lip. Make sure that you buy the correct one...the lip from a 98+ will not fit unless you SERIOUSLY modify it...and even then it doesnt look right.

2) There is also the Si-VTEC lip. This one looks best in my opinion. Sits really flush with the 94 front end and looks really clean.

3) The "Mugen" lip you're looking at on eBay isn't really a Mugen lip. Mugen never designed a lip that looked like 90% of the "Mugen lips" on eBay. The authentic Mugen lips look considerably different. Most of the ones on eBay are copies of the style of the Civic's Mugen lip.


And some wise words...

1) Be careful who you buy from and ask about shipping first. Some of the urethane lips are so twisted and bent up into a smaller box to minimize how much they company pays for shipping. This is a bitch for the consumer because they have to let it outside in the sun for awhile and pray that it goes back to its original shape. If your buying ABS...make sure they wrap cardboard around the lip for protection.

2) LOOK ELSEWHERE! eBay lips are always a gamble...and for $100+ I'd rather take my money somewhere else personally. I'll vouch for the quality and fitment of JDM SH!T's lips. I have an ABS lip on my car (ITR OEM Replica). It fits like a glove and looks great.

i agree 100% with you and i actually wouldnt even buy from ebay at all. I prefer to buy shit like that at local shops, just make a relationship with your local shop keeper and you will be suprised, you will get a good price on goods. I know i can get a poly-urithane type-r replica lip for 60$ at my shop. But i have a OEM type R lip on my 98+ bumper ( waiting to pick it up btw)
