save yourself some money and get a 92-95 civic EX lip. Fits perfectly, and looks great

plus, its OEM goodness. And you can probably find one fairly cheap. (beats $400+ for a kit plus paintjob)

 

Lip it is :yes:

 

where might one go about looking for this lip? other then from dealer

 

back off its mine all mine :rick:

 

You should not "don't really mind having unpainted body parts" on your car. It's really tacky and I think you should just do it right and save up your money and do it at once. Set goals and work towards them..

 

Having an unpainted kit on a car could be a good thing. If you drive on it for a while, you get the feel on how it is to drive a car with a lower front bumper. Even if you scratch/scrape it, it won't be as heartbreaking as if it was a painted bumper. I drove around for about a week with an unpainted front bumper just so I knew how to handle ramps, driveways, dips, etc...
