Re: $5 Dollar Front Lip
NICE how did u know it would fit the crossfire
Well dealing with fever and crap this weekend.. but did do a quick fit up of my 5 dollar investment. Probably will have to 3M tape some support around the V on the nose, might try a heat gun to form a slight v at the middle, but just wanted to get this up to show the fit.. And no screws. "Probably" will put fasteners inside the fender lip to secure. One additional note. These seem to come with and without an additonal flange on the top to secure on the Hondas lower grill opening. If you accept this mission.. get without top flange unless you just want to cut it off. These are normally 40 bucks on Ebay.. guess it was fate that day I searched and found it listed for 5 bucks in error.. and a special thanks to the vendor for honering the screw up!

Re: $5 Dollar Front Lip
I didn't!
User XXX-FIRE (see gumball rally thread ) was trying to sell one you put a bolt through the side and trimmed an inch of each end by the wheel well.. "He had these made up for the crossfire ..only $150 if you order today"... LOL.. offered him a tape measure. His thread started with him and another guy holding one up and I went on search on Ebay. They are a 40 dollar spoiler, and just so happens the seller mis- listed the price.. on the right year of Honda by chance/fate.
So I gambled on missing a Big Mac and fries..

So somebody head to the track and see how much time the new aerodynamics shave off the ET... LOL. I just like the fact it changes up the look from the rest just a tad..

There's always the cupra if you can find it.. think they are $80 if someone is trying to get rid of extra inventory.. There's always the Garage door seal in the newest thread..

Re: $5 Dollar Front Lip
Just got my lip yesterday, left a message on one of your pics, love the way it looks, I noticed the fitment you achieved was perfect and the end caps actually follow the line of the fender/bumper very closely, can you give me some pointers on how you achieved that nice fit?

Re: $5 Dollar Front Lip
Thanks for jumping in and providing the definitive word on this. I am going to order it immediately.
If I can bother you with one last question, I got kind of confused with reading the several threads on this regarding just where or who on ebay is the best place to purchase the item. If I can bother you with that bit of guidance, if not then I will begin rereading the various posts and figure it out.
Again, thanks sir for your assistance

.. I'm sure these are made by the same MFG... so pretty much just look for who has the best price going.. and MAKE SURE it doesn't have that little extra flange on the top leading edge..

Is the ebay seller mac tuning the one everyone is purchasing. Looks kind of strange in the ad listing. Perhaps I just do not know what I am looking at. If everyone says that is the one then I am gettin it!
