Please identify a lipkit & help with some questions..

[Ry_]

Hey all, so I'm in the market for a a rear lip, sideskirts, and front lip for a 00 EK. Think I'm settling on:

I'm assuming they're just Type R/styled front and rear lips with sideskirts (please correct me if I made a mistake). The front lip I'm not -too- sure.. seems a lot cleaner or shorter than a lot of the other 'type r' lips around. Is it something else?

So far, my options seem to be purchasing them from http://www.carmate.com, http://www.xracing.com.au, and ebay. Ebay one's seem a bit cheaper.

Anyone with some good kit advice (in terms of ease of installation, possible DIY, cost, comparisons between ones to get and ones not to get etc.) or possible problems to highlight?

Thanks again, cheers.

Front and rear look like CTR (Civic Type R) lips and the side skirts look like colour coded stockies.

There's a few traders on the forum which still kits like those.

[mrwillz]

front is also vtir (em1) front lip
i may haf one for sale soon!
also i haf the replica of the type r rear lip that also mayb for sale!

i had the exact same set up as above pic. but as i may not get another hatch!

Hey thanks for that info, that's top stuff.

I definitely want to buy them if you're selling (they do fit on an EK1 don't they?).. please let me know if you are!

[scyt7e]

front lip is ctr lip from facelifted ek rear is ctr lip,

in all honesty if you're an ek nut and every minor detail matters get oem because there will be slight differences but most people will never be able to spot them unless ur picky like me

replicas are good if you get ones that are not too cheap, i'm not going to advertise for myself here but yeh i fit many replicas they all good and ppl walk away happy, but at the end of the day... genuine > replica bluck honda charges an outrageous price for most oem stuff. ohh good replicas need zero modification you just need a screwdriver and some tape.. glue if you're paranoid .:thumbsup:.

and if you pay more than 150 per lip for those... ur getting jipped hard for replicas that is :thumbsup:

thats just the 99-00 CTR/EM1 lip

[Ry_]

Thanks for the new replies people. Appreciated.

scyt7e: Would you happen to know how much would OEM front and rear lips usually cost roughly? Would be pretty handy if I could get it straight from Honda.

Also, the sideskirts, any ideas? Fr3aKi3 says they could be colour coded stockies (stock skirts?), but my skirts look a bit different, they're not really flared near the rear wheel.

And does the 99-00 CTR/EM1 front lip fit on a 00 EK1?

Apologies for the barrage of noobie q's!

[mrwillz]

yes they will fit on ek1
as long as same year brackets
facelift 99-00 will be fine

the skirts are stock skirts and jus coded. maybe post a pic of wot ur ones r like

Here's what mine currently looks like:

Just clarifying terminology, what exactly does 'coded' and 'facelift' mean/refer to?

Mine was made in June 2000 too, if it helps.

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56135&highlight=pre+facelift

refer to that for differene on facelift and pre facelift

coded mean to match the lil black strip/skirts to ur body color
ur skirts look prety much stock, it may be that after its coded u can see more of a flare/definition of the skrit

Just rang Austral Honda about the OEM lips, and the lady said it was part of the actual bumper, and faxed me a parts diagram.. which turns out to not have the lip at all. lol.

I don't suppose anyone has a part number or a better description for me to give them? Thanks..

[Ry_]

Actually! Don't worry- just ordered the parts.. for a ridiculous amount of money lol. $633 for the pair.

The quote for the OEM front bumper which the first lady gave me by mistake was $323, rear $308.

Crazy that lips cost that near that much too.. Now need to find a painter..

[Alpine]

You bought the lips from Austral Honda? Ewww expensive not even painted either.

[Ry_]

Yeah totally.. but for lack of options (or seeming so anyway).. :(

sigh!

[Alpine]

I got my front lip from jdmconcept for $245 delivered...probably not that cheap either but still cheaper than from honda themselves! And yes it's genuine ctr lip.

[Ry_]

Hey is there much of a difference between the OEM lip and the CTR lip?

omfg that is such a rip lolol :thumbdwn:

[Ry_]

Yeah was a bit pricy, but I figured that with places like carmate and xracing, I'd have to pay for shipping as well, so would add up. Might as well get the genuine thing..

[mrwillz]

i wud never pay that much for lip

[Zdster]

Hey is there much of a difference between the OEM lip and the CTR lip?

For the facelifted ek - yes!

[kn1ghtm4r3]

i dunno adding it all up id say if anything ud save a good 200 easy if not more, shipping is not as bad as u think ahah. you just gotta wait thats the only down side

[Ry_]

For the facelifted ek - yes!

Oh no.. I suspect I'll not be looking forward to picking it up.. :lol:

Would you have a link to a pic of the OEM one?
