I was in a junkyard the other day and noticed that these cars have a nice factory lip on all of them. Has anyone tried this on there 3gee? Or at least measured one? They look similar!

i havn't heard of anyone doing that on here, but it just may work. take a tape and see if the #s match up w/ one.

Yeah, this is a shitload easier to find then a CRX lip. Only thing is this is a little more 'low-profile' then the crx lip. For the 86-87 and all hatch's, it's not that bad, but for the 88-89 it'll be a little more difficult.

For the 86-87, you have to lenghten the center, and shorten the sides, and for the 88-89, you still need to lengthen the center, but also lengthen the sides. **Note: All hatch's use the 86-87 bumper, so the rule for 86-87 applies to 86-89 hatch's.**

I'll mark on the frontal pic, where I made the cuts....
...hope this helps....
...I'll be making one for my 88 coupe soon enough, and will post how-to pics as soon as it's all done....

I'm guessing like 88-92 or something like that.

The 626 and MX-6 use the same lip, so they're much easier to find.

Another 626/MX-6 lip. Just like in the case with the CRX, here you also need two lips.
