GEN3 Lips ---PROGRESS!
#1

Recently made some progress in the manner of options during my late night browsing hahah..
SO, found some USDM models with Honda Integra lips that fit.
(Some of you may already have heard of this?)
My mate across the road has an integra so we're gonna go to a jap body place eventually to check it out.....
Here's what im interested in and would like anyone's opinion both on look and fitment.
Two styles of the integra lips fit so far as i know
Standard Type-R lip and The Mugen Type-R lip
Theres a guy in the US with a lib wagon whose tried both:
Standard TypeR:
Mugen:
I think the Type-R looks much better..
Here's some more pics of the typeR:
(as this guys car stands today; i think)[looks fcuking sweet]
In my opinion colour coded looks best;
But i love this Leggy here, same or similar colour as mine and the black matches so we'll see
On a SIDENOTE: I absolutley Looooove how the inside of the Lights are painted Silver....please anyone direct me how to do this?
Mugen:
Now in regards to whether the lip WILL fit;
These bumpers are very similar to mine (even have almost the same shaped fogs(but thats not important)), but importantly, the line of the bumper looks very much the same, it curves up as it goes towards the centre; as seen in these pics:
Comparing to my lib's bumper:
As for ground clearance:
And here is one small fitment issue:
Gaps can be seen towards the outside between the lip and the bar, but that could be fixed easily
Secondly (thirldy, forthly?), in order FOR these to fit they need a bit of encouragement via the use of a heat gun and i think i tiny portion needs to be cut..not a problem.
Please do reply here
and i hope this is helpful to anyone looking around for options

I still think the Blitzen front bar is the best made for Gen 3s.

haha yeah I totally agree, those blitzen bars are pretty harsh on the eyes. Must be an acquired taste
Wangon Special make (imo) the best looking kits for Gen 3. Works_Bell / Hippo_Sleek also make some pretty cool ones
oh and +1 more for the STI lip over those other ones

There is a thin lip I have seen on the B4 bumper that looks good. I think Walts has it.

I've inquired too, SL-I forums are full of USDM libs, but the lips sadly won't match your bumper. Like I said, I found my only options were to either A) Take a risk, find something that no one else has done yet, and hope that it fits.. or Buy an RSK bar from Japan, that comes with the front lip.
But if you don't do do that, our bars looks pretty schmick when lowered, I know they dont have such an aggresive look, but still its streamline.
OLD BAR, lowered:
RSK BAR + lip:

It full of win on the wagon, but I don't think it suits sedans.

The lip looks great on the red beast at the top.
Nice one.

Go the RS-K bar, Oztemp's looks nice with that on it. It will probably be cheaper in the long run, rather than wasting your money on a lip from fark-knows-where which will be snapped in transit by some redneck truckie anyway.
