Front Lip...Ordered one today (99 - 00 Civic) - INSTALL STARTED
Hoping I can get some help here on how to properly modify it for installation. I read a couple of threads. I thought I'd shape it on the car before painting. I understand some trimming, and heating is needed. Should a be fun project along with the rear spoiler. These will both be added to my '06 RS.

These look great when on the car. Hopefully some of the folks here that have installed them chime in.

Great looking lip on the car. I'll be following your thread as you modify and fit it to your car. Good luck.

Thanks Gentlemen! I don't expect to work on it until closer to spring, but I will definitely take pics of my progress.

I'm waiting for warmer weather. It will probably be in Late May or early June before I attempt the install. I'll definitiely post up progress pics when I go at it. I will do the same for the rear wing.

Lip Install
Started the install today. I have it temporarily centered and tacked onto the front. I'm thinking I'll have to cut some triangles into the bottom, horizontal part of the lip so I can slowly make the curve. I'm a tad nervous about this stage. Worst case scenario, I buy another lip if I trash this one.
Centered and tacked on: Hanging a bit: Overhang: Rough cutting: Next step is to make the "V" cuts and mold it to the contour. I'll finish the ends by making a flush line with the wheel well and use my dremel tool, then sand. Open to any and all suggestions about any of the above plans. I'll update the thread as I muddle along with this project.

might be a bit more work, but wouldn't it be easier overall to cut the middle down to size and plastic weld it back together then hit it with primer and a sanding block and paint?

This job is a bit beyond my skill level. I have had to attempt using RTV sealant along with the 3M tape to hold it on. I have drilled and screwed the spoiler to keep the seams tight. I did make slots as mentioned above and used the heat gun to mold to the contours. I'll remove the screws, use adhesion promoter, prime and use bondo and spot putty of fill the holes, prime and sand the lip. If I was having this done again, it would definitely go to a professional.

I been using the heat gun which helps shape it a bit, but it also expands a lot causing it to pop out in other places. This is a major challenge!

hah yeah. The other way of doing this is way more labor intensive is getting formers foam from a crafts store and gluing it to the bumper and shaving it down to a shape you like then fiber glassing it over for a mold. pop it off and clean it up then boom. you have a front lip design.
Me? I'm probably gonna buy deliverances S front bumper lip and then fab up a splitter |

Anyway, this job is turning out to be a lot more involved than I had expected. As they say, "In for a dime, in for a dollar". I'm going to do the best job I can and hope it turns out ok. The next challenge...fabricating end caps. The more I think about your initial suggestion about cutting from the middle, the more I now wished I'd tried that even though it woudn't be without its challenges too.

the main challenges is getting the sides to mate nice and neat with your curvature, the easy part is taping the centers together and going at it with some plastic weld and making sure its flat again

A little more progress on the lip...
I picked up a can of expandable spray foam yesterday as I wasn't quite confident that the RTV sealant alone would hold the lip on. I sanded all the paint on the car under the lip and sanded the back of the lip. Both surfaces were then cleaned multiple times with alcohol. Then I sprayed both with adhesion promoter. The cavity was then basically filled and left to cure until this evening. I removed the screws and I think if I tried to remove the lip, the bumper would be coming with it. I tugged really hard and it wouldn't budge.
In the pics below I have just sanded, degreased a few times, applied the adhesion promoter and then the first coat of primer. Tomorrow, I get to work on fabricating the ends where the lip attaches to the wheel well. Next will be the bondo and spot putty, then a paintable caulk along the top edge for a perfect seal, sanding, priming, painting and clearcoat. I hope to be done by early next week.

Thanks, Kimona! As long as I can keep myself from rushing the body work and sanding, I think it should turn out quite nicely. Should have another round of pics in a few days. I'm away for a conference on Friday and we have weekend guests. Hoping to have those end caps done tomorrow evening though.
