    9G: How to install a Honda Prelude front lip on a 9G

    OP notes: Yeah, I know, I'm a miracle worker.....

    How to: Install a front lip for a 9G Galant
    (and yeah, it cost me $6 bux lol)

    Well, if you been following my other front lip threads (7G & 8G) you probably already guessed I've been working on a 9G variant. The lip of choice belong to an early model Honda Prelude like this one:


    It's the same method as the previous lips so here we go....



    Tools:

    - Dremel cutting tool
    - 12 tapered screws, 12 washers
    - double sided tape
    - phillips screwdriver

    Here's the lip in comparison to the 9g


    Here's the lip with double sided tape. Notice I shaved the edges for more flex. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please refer to the other lip threads I gave a nice explanation there.


    Install pics (took me 30 mins)

    Because I'm the Lip Master duh? But seriously, I just picture the contour of the front bumper in my head and compare it to other lips. Not that hard though but not many people have that kind of time to spend for other people's leisure.
