im told it wont fit, and i guess thats correct. otherwise they wouldnt make one for hatchie and one for sedan
but my question is, is it possible at all, provided i tarzan grip tape, cable tie, or even melt it together, how would it look?
its fairly hard to get hands on a oem lip from mugen,spoon or even honda that looks nice, either that or its a bit too expensive as it carries the brand.
and replicas lips im worried wont go on flush with the bumper edge.
ive got a sedan, anyone got pics of smartblokes that have managed to get a hatch lip on a sedan? im guessing it would tuck a bit under the bumper like stock 94 accord lips.
help is appreciated :D
somethin flush like this..

to start of, aftermarket front bars are often out of dimensions so even though ur lip is straight ur bar is off or the other way around..

ive seen on ozhonda, a few guys that have put a EG front bar on a EH before.
its slightly smaller so u have to stretch it around.
some people have a really good job of it.
so thats an alternative.

Sedans don't have a variety compared to the hatch.
Therefore people wanting to use 3dr lips for a 4dr (although never actually seen one done cleanly)
