you'll need a little bit extra to go in the middle, the crx lip isn't quite long enough to go across the front bumper. and i think you just crew it in.

It needs to be extended on the front and on the sides. Its not as easy as it looks. Mine took about 4-5 hours to do to mold the seams, now it looks stock :D.

You can make a rear lip from the same lips. So you'd need a total of 4 crx lips for front and back lips. Have fun finding that many. I can't even find just one.

I think you all should consider using a 88-89 1gen integra front lip. It works well without all the cutting. Also, it is way easier to find. Remember 88-89 not 86-87 because both year have a different lip.

yeah using a 1stgen integra lip works way better and are easier to find. you just need to work at shaving the side off aabout 1/4 so you can flush mount it. i got one and i am in the proces of mounting it.

HAHHAAH..........can you say GHETTO? Thats the stuff you use to edge your lawn from your sidewalks..you beat it in the ground. When someone walks up to your car and sees that, you know how hard you are going to get laughed at?

Man, some people just puzzle me...i have to ask..are you on crack? Oh yeah..your a pizza delivery boy....their always the short strawl in the package.

Whats next..you going to drag the water hose and put a seeder on the back too?

Darkside had the same thing, you can hardly tell that it is the gardening edging stuff. it looks really good, and its really flexible...if someone has a pic of Darkside's car, post it...

will the integra lip fit perfect on the coup bumper or the regular bumper, because the sides on both are different. I have a coup bumper will a have to shave or cut and paste?

it should fit 88-89 coup/sedan, but on 86-87 it might be a little longer on the side. It also depend if you wrap it around or put it flush under the bumper. I wrapped it around and I ended up having not to cut any off. I did it on my 89sedan.

However on 86-87 I recommended using a mazda 929 front lip. Its overall length is almost a match with 86-87 year. Hope this help.

how can you tell the difference b/n a 86-87 and a 88-89 integra lip at the junkyards?

86-87 1gen teg lip are flush mounted under the bumper and the two end are cut at an angle ex: \ For 88-89 the lip is much larger and it's wrap around the bumper with a more rounded end. The 88-89 in my opinion are the better looking.

It is a whole peice by itself and it's attached to the bumper with screw from underneath.

This lip that he's had on the car for quite a while is starting to discolor a bit. I'm not sure if he plans on changing it or maybe just painting it.

how hard is it to make a lip out of lawn edging?.....whats all involved..and would self tapping screws work to hold it on?

I'm not sure. I'll ask Josh (Darkside) on the particulars. He was talking about writing a how-to sometime in the next 2-3 weeks since there has been some interest.

if your car is stock height then yes self taping screws will work just fine... my car however is not and the lip has to withstand some bumps everynow and then so i did mine with nuts and bolts... but yeah its simple, maybe a 30min job if you do it right.
