I used to have a 'type-r style' grille. Didn't fit well, and the bottom half didn't attach to the bumper properly.

FYI: There's an easy way to break into 6th gens, even with alarms, if you have a grill that doesn't connect to the bumper. It's not very difficult to pull it from the bottom, reach up in there, snap the hood-release cable, and pop the hood, thus gaining access to the battery, which, when unplugged, renders the alarm useless (unless you have a backup). Yeah, I know from experience.... :happysad: at least I got a better system out of it

honestly, I've been a bit put-off by those 'style' items, be it lips, head/tail lamps, grills, etc. They never fit right, and they look cheap, or so I feel. I dunno, the lips are ok, but if I were you, I'd just opt out on the grill. If you really want one, get the JDM grill that screws down to the bumper

I'd get the lip if I were you, my friend has one on his coupe and it fits very well, they do have a tendency to crack though

thats funny, because the lip I used to have on my car fit like ass, connected to the bumper at 4 spots, and wouldn't sit right against the bumper. But thats right, this is knock-off shit we're talking about.

I'm glad it got stolen. I like my factory lip much better.

factory lip is always going to fit better plus its urethane. It'll cost you more though

they still have it up there? I couldn't find it about a couple months ago when Zeroseven was looking for one...

sucks they're that expensive.

btw, is this a 96-98 or a 99-00 you have?

if you have a 96-98, I'd say save up the $220....

if you have a 99-00, then Si lip all the way.
