Bought the type-r lip , but not fitting?
bought this lip of ebay :
and when i hold it up to the bumper it looks to be a perfect fit but when i look at the sides where the edge goes to the fender only one side goes on. i have tried forcing both sides on at the same time but its honestly not happening. anyone have the same problems ?

aaahhhh oooooo.....
ya unfortunately the ABS plastic 99-00 civic lips dont fit. I actually was in the same problem. I took a heat gun and stretched the abs plastic but it warped the entire lip. So i bondo'd some of the wonkey spots and sanded it down.
Polyurethane is stretchable under heat. ABS plastic tends to melt. Be very carefull when applying the heat gun. baby steps.
Anyone purchase the 04-05 lips off ebay? theres a type-r and a type-m? I think cubanmike has a type-m lip

So your car is an 02?? As long as you bought one for that year, it should fit. Like mentioned above, you could take it to a body shop, and see if they can get it on, otherwise, contact the seller and tell them their **** doesn't fit.

Rep Power: 290 as a matter of fact, this **** needs to get locked, 'cause the thread starter hasn't added any more info, and didn't provide enough to start. this is all crap, and mere speculation taking up server space.
if he has an 02, and this abs lip doesnt fit, then he bought it for the wrong year or its just a craptacular lip period cause they do make type r lips for the 01-03
but yes i have an 05, and i used a 99-00 urethene type r lip
