    Accord lip on VR4 bumper?

    just wondering what you guys think about putting the CD5 accord lip on VR4 bumper?
    here how the accord lip looks on my stock 8g bumper now

    i was able to get another one in the junkyard.. ive could of done a better job but.. whatever.... heres how it looks on the vr4 bumper...needs to be extended 5 inches and bent in some places for those who installed the accord lip knows you have to bend the top portion of the lip or cut it all i did was cut it in half and duct taped it to bumper.. final product should look way better..

    I dunno...looks rather bulky. The VR4 bumper already has somewhat of a lip already.

    i know.. not sure if the jdm bumper is lower than stock bumper.. guess as long as i dont rub on driveways or parking lot entrance... i'll add it on.. i also got cyber 1 side skirts if the front looks to low...i really think the accord lip is way better then the home depot lip $10-12.00 lip from the Junk Yard its not bad..

    A filipino's number one dream is to own a car before anything else. In the philippines, most private car owners consider their vehicles as an extension of their home but with one differrence: a home is where his wife cooks while a car is where his girlfriend builds a fire. Hmmm...

    I'll say this about the lip, mold it flush with the bumper, for a seemless look, and it should look 1000x better.

    In the nicest way possible, don't ruin the class of a jdm bumper.

    Well it is a universal lip.....

    That bumper stays flush with side skirts without any lips. I can only imagine how low it would look with the cd5 on. You can test it around but I don't think that lip is really suited for that bumper.....

    WTF Galant with Honda?? noooo. why not get the rubber you put on the bottom of your house doors and stick that on.may look better... even better i think but it is my own opinion it get Evo X Fibreglass lip and mod that to suit, itll have the diffuser front style the accord offers too

    but its your project so you have to be happy with it,n matter what we think,its for you in the end ey
    enjoy buddy i will keep looking to see what it looks like in the end
