02 lip help!!
ok so im doing an 02 front end conversion because some asshole smashed my nice 03 bumper..
i order so far:
black housing depo lights
02 front bumper
Chrysler grill
when i ordered the bumper, the 02 r/t bumper was not available, so i ended up just saying screw it and ordering a regular 02 style bumper.
Now onto my question, what all options do i have for a lip? i dont want some ridiculous lip. im looking for something that looks like its part of the oem bumper.

there are alot of options for lips, I use the 99-00 civic megan style lip on mine, you can also use the JDM Acura itegra lips and most anything else for the late 90's civics. the 03+ mopar lip will fit, but it just doesn't have the lines to finish the front end and look clean. keep in mind the lip will have to be cut and fitted to the bumper, having done this the RIGHT way I can give you tips and a material list if you would like on how to do it and keep it looking like it was never cut in half and rejoined.
Ziptie's come in handy when a prostitute gets mouthy or reluctant

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

In my opinion, the type R lip is the the most OEM looking lip on the 02 bumper.

However, if you're not getting side skirts, I don't think getting a front lip will flow well.

Over this:
Any day. In fact, I already did... Too many people have R/T front bumpers + SRT hoods. My car looked like every other one. There's a lot of 03+ with lip too, but everyone's switching to 02 style now.
Cody to answer your question... no. There's no direct fit lip that looks good on an '02 bumper. Either '99-'00 Civic Si or Mugen style lips are the ones people have used. You need to cut it in the middle to fit.
Bad lighting, but here you can see how I cut mine to fit my '00 bumper on my old beater

Here's how it looks now... thanks to the dude who didn't primer my dang bumper, then worked at a shop that went out of business
Do you have any pictures of the front before the paint peeled?
thanks
