if you are willing to take on a project.. I have a damaged kit. Its not complete, its missing the 2 front lips. However the already started working on fixing some of the damage.

I would be willing to sell for pretty cheap.
Let me know if you are interested.

I am also local to the SGV and OC area.

i was thinking about putting the type r front lip http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pt ... 25746.html

or maybe the front lip on the red car in this ad http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pt ... 84419.html

it looks like it would flow well with the car... no sharp lines and not extremely aggressive looking.... will it even fit and has anyone ever done it???

by **Ilovemylara** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 3:38 am

Not sure about the corolla lip, But Im pretty positive the civic lip would fit. go for it man, that would look sick on a black car!

i have the m-style lip on my car. from a Acura tho.

by **imhappy** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 1:16 pm

that acura lip looks pretty clean... i think imma try on a integra lip tonight.

by **Toy1mzfe** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:16 pm

Cool, let us know how it goes. gotta love it when people try other car parts on our cars.

by **imhappy** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 1:11 pm
