Just transfering all my data from TGC to this site for all pretaining to front lip spoilers that were not meant for the car. Meaning it's not OEM/Aftermarket made for your car. This includes a full tutorial as well as where to buy the product. I will expand the database in the future.
UPDATED** 8G COMPARABLE FRONT LIPS version 2011 What front lip would fit the stock 99-01 bumper or 02-03 with no or some modification? I'm talking about lips from other cars.

Does your Home Depot lip look ghey and want a different front lip for the same price? Then read on my friend, read on..... How to: Install OEM 94-95 Accord Lip (CD5) on an 8G The CD5 lip came in two sizes (well 3 if you include the 96-97 models): medium & large. I tried both of them and fits just fine (that's what she said).
Medium lip:
Large lip:
To determine the height, use a small measuring tool. Medium is 2 1/2 inches high and the large is about 4 inches high.
Here's what you need:
- Front bumper from a USDM 8G (1999-2001), 8GB coming soon
- some sort of cutting tool (Dremel, power cutter, heavy duty scissors)- double sided tape
- about 16 10mm 2 inch bolts /w washers
- 10 mm ratchet

Well, Peter is sitting right next to me...here are the pics from his Mugen Lip install we did earlier today. I really like the way it came out.
Enjoy..
Here are the tools used.
This is how we screwed it onto the center vent. We pre-driilled all the holes to prevent cracking.
To melt the area where the small vents are at, we used the wooden planks to press in toward the bumper as we heated the area evently. Try not to keep the gun in the same area because it will make the lip bubble up. After you heat while applying pressure, keep the pressure on the lip onto the bumper and pour the water on it to cool it fast. Don't let go, until the lip is cold and in the shape that you want it.
This is how we held it in place after molding it onto the bumper...
This is how it looked before cutting and melting the ends...
After cutting...
Before bending, we cut an triangle into the to of the lip to allow it to bend flushly. We also cut the horizontal lip under the lip to prenvent it from bulging up at the bottom.
How it needed to be bent...
How we bent it...
The finished product...
JUST ADDED, BLACK HEADLIGHTS BABY!!!!!!!
