    Hatchback front lip

    Are there any lips for my front bumper that will fit on my 88 Hatch? I got one from an 88 Integra and it wouldnt line up at all!

    Search for posts about using a VW lip, here is an 86 Hatch with a Jetta lip:

    I know there are other posts out there as well.

    I even read one post about using the flexible vinyl that goes at the bottom of a wall.

    The front lips from the 1988 and 1989 Integra only fit 1988 and 1989 coupes and sedans. The hatch never got the facelift so the 1988 and 1989 models still have the 1986/7 bumpers. I forget which lip fits those ones, lol.

    if you want that lip to fit you'll need a facelift bumper, all these cars share the same front bumpers, the hatch just never got the facelift, all front bumpers fit the hatch, but only a hatch rear bumper fits

    I found the lip from a 1997 jetta, I had to do a few adjustments but it was fairly easy.

    The lip from a Volvo 9/700-series should fit. I got one on my -88 Aerodeck.
