Type R Lip on Green Civic

[TranceZiggy]

leave it unpainted, it will match the pre face lift moulds and skirts and any other black bits. if you colour coat the lip colour coat the rest of the car or itll look off.
thats mine you get the idea

Yeah that was my very first thought, plus I'll be doing DIY CTR headlights either black or gunmetal, so that's another thing that will blend in with green/black theme. Will also be getting Hyper Silver/Gunmetal wheels next month.

Cheers for all the input guys, looked around through google images & found some pictures of EKs with Type R lips both painted & unpainted and I definitely like them unpainted alot more.

Will be installing sometime next week.

Yeah I hesitated for a few months as mine are in really good nick too and I would be devastated if I screwed them up, but I can't resist how awesome they look, so I've decided to go ahead and do it, but I'm gonna be extra extra careful lol

paint it for an ek.
even the stock black side mouldings are hideous to me, paint the lip and paint the side mouldings while ur at it

If its the type r lip that looks like the facelift ones then leave it black if its one like mine get it painted (Y)

unpainted side skirts and rear lip aswell.

Lip arrived today.. Now, how the hell do I get this thing on, lol. Checked out the SiR lip & it definitely looks like that would be easier to install. Oh well, will give it a shot & if it shits me or won't fit properly I'll get an SiR..

2 screws on each side in front of the tyres. Then I put one in the middle of the bumper just for extra support.

Use self tappers

personally if you have light colour like silver, painted, fresher (i assume you will get clear taillight and get clear side amber light later)

but green EK... unpaint will look cool

mate... prepare for mad scrape lines up the front of your bumper lmzo
