Well I am arriving late to this party but I am trying to make up for lost time with my mods. After taking everyones advice and suggestions about a front lip for my Limited Roadster I decided to give the e bay one a shot. I paid more than $5 for it, but it was way worth it. Just have a a look at these pics! I am extremely happy with it. Next best thing to the SRT bumper cover and a lot cheaper. I do have it painted to match the car. It wasn't hard at all. scuff sanded it with 400 then 800. Cleaned real good with paint prep. Shot it with flexible primer from a spray. Then shot it with duplicolor universal black.Again from a spray can. Now here is the most important step. I have found a real 2K clear in a spray can from Eastwood. Press a button on the bottom of the can and the hardener and clear are mixed together. Shake for 5 mins then shoot right from the can. It gives a proffesional , durable clear coating that has some give. The pot life is only 48 hours after mixing, but I almost used the entire can for the lip. The rest I used on the color matched door handles a day later. No waste! I am sure anyone can do this on their own.

As far as mounting, it was not too bad. I did it with no help either. I propped up the ends on some blocks and got both ends aligned as I wanted them in the wheel well. I used tape to hold the center up. Two screws on each side hold them secure. Then a little creativity with some screws from the underside directly into the original front bumper underneath where they can not be seen. Took me about an hour to mount and an hour to paint a few days before the mounting to let it cure. I did have to use a heat gun and a couple of V notches on the underside to make it conform better, but I could not be more pleased.
Not everyones style I am sure, but it works for me.

 

please excuse the blurry pics. I took them with my phone. I will get some better ones up in the daylight.

 

As Mr Burns would say...Excellent!

 

I dare say I almost like that better than the SRT front!

 

Looks very nice. Will have to consider it if I do a lip on my roadster. Great job.

 

Looks good man! We'll probably never find them at $5 again.. but it definitely made for a catchy thread title!
Figured I had better post that capture of my auction or get called a liar somewhere down the line.. LOL.
Think yours is the first one fully painted out and it really looks sharp! I'm still waiting for someone to buy the one with the little vents and see how it looks..

 

Great Job! I personally am not crazy about the SRT6 bumper. Reminds me of the Beretta bumper and I had an Iroc Z

 

Good job - thanks for the post and pics...

 

Did you have to modify the lip at all ?

"I did have to use a heat gun and a couple of V notches on the underside to make it conform better, but I could not be more pleased."

Our bumper comes to a V where as the honda does not..

 

Sounds and looks great. You did yours like I did mine except I just cleaned mine and coated it with some vinyl dressing. Decided not to paint it, I like the slight contrast. I did one "V" cut and used a heat gun too, along with some screws along the underside of the OE bumper cover. I think it looks cool! different than most, and low cost as well!

 

Looks really good! What do I search for on Ebay if I want one? Honda _____?

 

Click my tagline.. $5 front lip...

 

Lantana,

I think the lip is : 1999-2000 honda civic EK TypeR CRR Front Bumper PU Lip EK9
The CRR part may not be correct, may be CTR. Mine cost me $40.00, included shipping.

check Mrmiata tag line though to make sure " $5.00 lip"

 

This is the one I got. (and yes there is a lip there. It is right underneath the two nice airbags)
99-00 Honda Civic EK Type R CTR Front Bumper PU Lip EK9 (Urethane) | eBay

 

this looks really good , was not sure about it untill now but may and up doing this in near future ,

 

Looks nice in black and white

 

Not too shabby in color either.

 

Very nice! From the photos, it looks like it came from the factory that way.

 

Looks great! Now if they made matching side skirts to go with it...
