    New mystery lip for 8 G

    So I was driving with my girlfriend out in the countryside last night, took her out there to look @ the stars seeing as it was her birthday and such, and we pulled over, and lo and behold there is a scuffed up lip sitting on the side of the road, so I put it in the back seat. Took it out today, and by god, this thing fits almost perfectly, way better than the mugen lip, I had to trim 1 inch on either side of the middle section that goes into the opening, and that was it, the ends of the lip matched up with the ends of the bumper, and I didn't even have to heat it, it lines up with the contours of the bumper just fine. The only thing I dislike is the person who owned it before cut a vent in the middle, but I'll likely fill that in then sand and paint it and mount it on the car. As mentioned before, I have no idea which car this was made for, but damn does it fit on a G nicely, enough of my talking, here are the pics.

    WTF! Thats awesome, it looks good too. Once you fill that gap and gets some paint on it it will be sexy. Nice find.

    PS if you find out what it is let us know, I really like it.

    I'll let you guys know if I find out what it is, if you guys find out, that'd be great too, then we'll know what it is, I personally like it more than the mugen lip.

    Man, that's an awesome find! That's going to look tight.

    That "almost" looks like the lip spoiler I received from Ebay yesterday.

    94-97 Integra Type R lip. What I received doesn't look quite like the Ebay ad. See link below.

    I posted a link to the Ebay ad a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, this seller likes to ship after end date of ad, regardless of when you did the buy it now. I bought it on 02/05/08 and received it yesterday; They shipped it out on the 17th. Not only that, they charged $35 for shipping, but when it arrived, the postman handed me the spoiler in bubble wrap - no box, and the USPS shipping label stated - $16.50 or something. I'm thinking of leaving them a neutral rating.

    But back on topic - I like the look of Greddy's lip spoiler. I'd love to have that one.

    Yeah, that is literally "a great find"!! Definitely see what you can find out about that lip and I'll use my net surfing skills to see what I can find also. Just so I have a good visual reference, that lip didn't originally have a slit in it, correct?

    Also post any pix of it not installed on the car. That will help me identify it more easily.
