    8G Comparable Front Lip Kits

    i did a search and came up empty...i'm sure it was discussed at one point or another...but here is goes.

    What front lip would fit the stock 99-01 bumper with no or some modification? I'm talking about lips from other cars.

    I'm not a fan of the VR-4 lip without a JDM Bumper. and i don't have the money to import one so, i'm looking for alternatives.

    I'm thinking that the dimensions from the 96 Maxima might fit. Has anyone tried fitting a lip from another car on the galant? Two peice Lip Kits would work also.
    I'm looking for EDUCATED SUGGESTIONS, not just lip kits that you think look hot.

    I'm gonna be doing some research on this but would appreciate your input as well.

    i had the chance to mess with an lude's front bumper. shape wise and everything it was a close match......it wasnt the last gen prelude it was the one before the last. you might wanna look into it......

    i know for a fact, that the 8g cyber/initial V front gets sectioned in the middle and put back togheter and sold to cavalier owners.....i dunno if you could take a cavalier front lip, and stretch it

    personally, i'm getting tired of the front i got, planning on going back to stock and making a lip provably from scratch or another cars

    FYI, I was at this tuner shop today and they had a bunch of ABS front lips out - I asked if I could try them out on my car and they obliged. Here are the results - bear in mind that I have an 02-03 bumper and the results may be different for the 99-01 bumper:

    Doesn't Fit:
    Civic 92-95
    Civic 96-98
    Civic 01
    Accord 98-00
    Integra 98-01

    I did fint one that actually fit pretty well - it was a Mugen Civic 99-00 front lip. The contours matched pretty well along the curves of the bumper, but it came up several inches short on the sides. It does look like it will fit well as long as you extend the sides.

    No, the 98-00 accord lip didn't fit very well - I didn't have my camera handy otherwise I would have taken a shot of how each lip looked on my bumper.

    Heres a pic of the 99-00 Civic Lip from google:


    I've been wanting a front lip for the longest time, but wasn't happy with the look of the eracings one and we know the story with erac1ngs

    Z.. I realized that they can do that with the Cavalier because the mounts are in the right places...but that's a body kit...i want a lip.

    Piony...That's actually a really good fit. I think that can be easily extended. I'd paint the lip anyways i have no use for the carbon fiber look. But talking about CF. Couldn't a person that knows how to work with CF extend that lip with no problem?

    I'll run a list of Lips that seem to fit.

    Thanks a lot you guys.

    if you plan to extend the lip with CF and leave the CF pattern showing then its gonna be pretty tricky because you will have to rewrap most of the lip in CF if you want the piece to look like it was made in 1 piece and not extended. but if you paint over it, no problem.

    Neel, that's not a big problem...you can screw it where ever the screw holes are at...just drill the holes into your bumper, Some lipkits don't even use Screws, just two sided tape. If you are painting the Lip, Like i am, you can screw in at any point you want and just cover the head of the screw with body filler or something like that and then paint.
