Integra Mugen Lip Install

[Serstylz2]

After numerous requests for "how did you get that on your Galant" I decided to post a "tutorial" - not a real tutorial I guess, cuz A) Theres not much to it and https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif I didn't have the right tools so I don't know the best tools to use. But anyway, here goes.


Firstly, I got my JDM Integra Mugen Lip from Ebay for a 98-01 Integra. They are all over, and mine is ABS Plastic and hasnt had a single problem at all since installation.

All I had to do was heat up the edges of it and re-bend them to fit because the bumper of Integras are slightly longer than Galants, then had to do a small amount of cutting in the middle of the Integra lip to contour with the opening of the Galant "mouth" area. Heres some pix of what I did. The red arrows and lines show where I cut:

These next pics show how I bent the lip with heat to fit the Galant:

Using the long-stem lighters someone would use to light a grill :roll: it took me 2 hours to finish this project. I had two other bolts in the middle of the lip as well in the "mouth" area but they fell out, but the lip holds up just fine anyway. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh, and pix of the final product:

i have no idea how you guys get lips on that good, but that's one solid project :thumbsup:

[02galant]

Man so it was that easy? I am ordering mine now. But my question is I wonder how a CF would work being that you couldnt heat CF and bend the edges like you said. Any ideas I want a CF one?

[theblackpearl]

wow i think i found my next exterior mod...

[8G_GTZ]

anyone with an 8G and the Type R style lip?

[Serstylz2]

The cf would probably crack up if you tried to heat it...

I recommend a propane tank to heat the ABS plastic lip, it would have been a quick deal if I had the right tools

To cut I just used a dremel, easy stuff

Thanks for the comments too https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

na has to be a direct flame moved around rapidly at the area where the bend will occur

[theblackpearl]

i did the same thing, but i still dont like how it looks. my car is white, so im in the middle of molding the lip to the bumper. its looking good, so when its done i can switch from that to my cyber 2 front end, hmm which one today...hehehe. I got my lip kit from a local homie who sells lip kits and other goodies. My cost was 40.00.

Arel, look really good man...Great job. Good looking out on that tutorial too.

[snowman]

I am going to try that.. thanks for the DIY.

[ChikagoGTZ]

This is what I'd use..hotter, but more consistent flame...and faster likely.

You should check the price on those now. They're about $100 now.

[DryBear]

Another option is to try and find a local "Tuner" shop - there's one in San Francisco that has a bunch of good quality lips for around $75

[quicksilver22]

arel bro, shit turned out great...


i didn't know you'd do that good of a job. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif lol j/j

[NelsonC]

Dustin, you cant add the intrega lip. Its for the 99-01 bumper. I think you gotta use a different lip. I maybe wrong but you might wanna look into it.

I had some help too 8)

[snowman]

Has anyone else done this.. if you have can you please post some pics..thanks

[TGCChamp]

What other cars have can I get a Lips Spoiler from? I don't mind Fabricating.

[Jet Black]

Thank god this post is a sticky. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

BTW I love how it looks. Makes the front 10x more aggressive (its the subtle things that do it).

[theblackpearl]

awww wtf are you serious? this wont fit on an 02 bumper? ima kill someone dammit

[shortdogg2k05]

awww wtf are you serious? this wont fit on an 02 bumper? ima kill someone dammit

Here is your solution...
02-03 bumpers you the "Mugen Civic 99-00 front lip "

Almost the same process but with this one the lip will be too short, I do believe. Wanderingpinoy can help you out with it. I believe he was the first to attempt with this particular lip, if I am not mistaken.

[theblackpearl]

yeah i just got stoked on the idea there would be practically no fabrication involved..ahh well looks like ima have to go with that one...

[shortdogg2k05]

Yeah I'm not gonna lie. I got pretty damn excited as well. I guess I will just stick with my other plan... :twisted:

[Serstylz2]

oh shit I didn't realize that, sorry fellas... why wouldn't it fit a 02-03 bumper tho? arent the dimensions the same? fog light openings too?

[SuperGALANT]

another thing i think is aggressive about that bumper is that it has mesh in between the foglights.. that i think makes it look more aggressive than the lip.. but the lip does help.. looks GREAT man good job on the mod

[milo111000]

yup the civic lip would work aswell. that one might look even nicer i think... good work though. looks nice..
