Yeah I clicked the thumbnail, & it went to the photobucket link but the pic was so small and the quality was low. Maybe bcz it took me to the mobile version bcz Im on my iPhone... Dah well! LOL!
huh?? haha if you click on the pic, it takes you to my photobucket then you gotta click on the picture to zoom in. That's the largest that photobucket will allow me to upload, cause I'm uploading the raw photo and it's automatically resizing it :P
but typically I post the thumbnails with them set as a direct link, so it doesn't go to the photobucket thingy. It's just when there's a large pool of photos, it takes too long cause I have individually reset the thumbnail code
So I just picked up a "spoon" lip for a 98-01 Integra. I don't have any pics yet, but basically it has the shape of the Type-R lip, with the holes of the Mugen. I don't have the money to get it painted right now, and my bumper looks like shit anyway, so I think I'm just going to mount it. Once I get it fitted, I might cover it in blue tape and a bunch of stickers just for the hell of it.. cause I'm that cool hahahah
I just need "moar low", some nice wheels, and sticker lip for HELLAAFLUSHHHHHH YOOOOOO
NOOOoOOO! I was going to buy that lip next paycheck lol. Well I guess I will see how it turns out before I get it now :) good luck! its a sexy sexy lip
haha dang I didn't even know anyone had heard of this lip before. Yeah, I like the lip a lot and I'm excited to mount it. It's polyurethane, not ABS, so mounting it is gonna be a little interesting since it's so flexible.
And I waited until I got my paycheck too... which was $60 for doing hard garden work for my mom! lol paid for my new lip

I picked it up locally from a guy on Craigslist. I have a feeling he has a few of them
I'm currently in the process of installing it. I'm trying to maintain the "teeth" in the lower grill of the bumper, so I'm cutting notches in the lip to make it fit.
found this on ebay:

$73 shipped, not bad, considering I had to drive out of my way a little bit to meet up with the guy
Also, like I said previously, this lip is polyurethane, NOT ABS like a lot of the mugen lip. That makes this lip a lot more flexible and easier to work with. I'm feeling pretty confident with making it flush with the bumper.

looks like a type r with mugen vents, should look legit if you can make it fit well, best of luck adrian

so it's getting too dark outside to continue working, so I'll pick it up again tomorrow.
Safety First!!
Cutting the lip with a knife from a multi-tool. Some parts also required a dremel, but I think I could do the entire lip without a dremel if need be
if you want the lip flush at the lower grill, this is how much material to remove + about another 3/4 inch
You know how Mom always told you to cut AWAY from your other hand? yeah.. make sure to do that.
done cutting the center to fit with the lower grill while still maintaining the bar in the bumper
but good news and bad news:
Good news: this lip looked badass when mocked up. I love the shape and leaving it black will really go well with my black and white theme up front (plus I don't have any money to paint it right now)
Bad news: The holes have quite some surface area behind the lip itself, so they're hitting the bumper lip right under the fog lights. I'm going to have to trim down these holes (which will give it less depth)

lol it's too dark! but check the post above for updated pics :)
shhh Will I'm not talking to you since you didn't show up to the GReddy meet and see Emerson's mom's Lambo! lol
so I'm facing a dilemma:
1) I can cut the hole intakes on the lip itself, making them appear bigger, and then they'll fit with the bumper behind the lip. The hole will appear much wider than it already looks, and you might see the bumper behind the hole
or
2) cut holes in the bumper for the intake hole to fit through the bottom of the bumper
Just cut holes in your bumper for the ducts on the lip, then get a brake duct kit and run it to your brakes!!!!! I'm not even joking.

ahhh "ducts".. that's the word lol. I don't know why I couldn't think of that! Total mind blank. I'm too hungry and haven't eaten dinner yet I guess LOL
haha you guys are fun. Really good mock-up man, Thanks for doing the research for me. I'll decided if I want to go through with it or not when I see your results lol!
