hey guys, this write up i have been meaning to do for a while, i have sold the car i had done it to myself, but with the minimal resourses im am giveing it a shot, so it can be usefull for them ed lovers. butmore over the DIY the purpose of this was to show that the DA9 lip is useable for the ed with just a slight modd, it was a problem for me to find a lip for my ed at the time, but one day when i was at pick N payless hunting for a part i saw a da9, n bought the lip on it.

tools needed :
screw driver
fine saw.
Da9 front lip with the metal clips and screws.

skills needed?
just a bit of elbow grease

how to?
place the lip on, put the clips on, then screw the clips in.
how ever the da9 front lip is long on the sides. meaning u have to cut the longer ends of with the saw.

If you wanted to take it one step further, you can bolt a 4th gen prelude (92-96) front lip onto the bottom of the DA9 lip, and bolt that on. Thats what I had on my teg.
