weird, i just double checked it and that is correct...

Kimo, you think you can salvage this thing at this point? if it's really that hard to come by, i don't want to mess it up beyond repair.

Lol I have no idea. I want a whole rear lip, not spats. What was the fitment like before you cut the middle out?

Yeah, gotcha. Unless you can find a way to deal with the indent for the muffler, or if you don't care about it visually, i wouldn't go for the prelude lip. I think that even jsun cut it in half, but we still don't have decent pictures of the lower back end of his car without shadow. Fitment is definitely not perfect. even in spat form they don't fit great. They will need a lot of shaping. at the corners they'll need to be bent to fit correctly. Before i cut out the middle, and even after, to line up correct the corners will need to be bent in towards the bumper. There's a couple holes for mounting that would almost fit, but they're slightly off from each other.

Bending at the corners is pretty easy but forming is not so much. Well that sucks. I guess the search continues for jdm or gt lips and skirts.

Are you going to the bbq? Chances are good I won't do more work until then. I'll bring the pieces to show you so you can figure out if it's worth it for you to keep looking for one.
