The lip on the second pic was made by member Boostx. He made a run of them once and that was it. It's made from a JDM Sigmaspeed lip that was used to make the mold. It actually fits both JDM and USDM bumpers, but good luck finding one.

I actually had one, but ended up not really liking it. The fit was weird on one side and it just didn't really flow well with my car. I think the one on Mike's car in that pic is the one that I sold him actually.

I'm not sure about what's on the car in the first pic. That may be a DIY garage door bottom seal style Home Depot lip.

lol your good! the bottom is a seal lip. i heard alot of people use the accord lip and cut them down to look alot like the boostx but havent seen one on a us bumper to justify buying one to try

The Honda accord rear bumper lip fits with some cutting and modification. Prove_it (Ryan) did this one on my car. I think its one of the better looking ones that are out there. Plus Accord rear bumper lips are dime a dozen.

Looks better on a shortend US bumper. This was my first attempt. Have tried other ways, but these are the only pics I got.

That one was a mock up. It's the bumper that 1284 hit a tree with. I was able to fix it up enough to try and shorten the bumper. Haven't figured out the stock fogs though.

I think that accord one looks kinda weird, looks too spread apart in my opinion.

Yep Mark is correct, I have his front lip on my car currently, and I'm very happy with it. I really like this style lip and wish they'd make a polyeurathane or carbon version of it.

The jdm bumper also makes a big difference. I think the Boostx lip works on the jdm far better than the US bumper.

Do you remember who it was that put the Boostx on the USDM bumper?

I don't. But I remember the lip making the bumper look shorter to me, since it was taller with the lip on. On a JDM bumper, it makes the bottom section of the bumper (which already sticks out) look like a train cattle guard. I liked it from the front, but not from any other angle.

There's a few pics floating around with this lip on a USDM bumper I'll do try to dig one up.

I agree it looks so much better on a USDM bumper - but on either bumper there's still the mis-match of heights of the lip, sideskirts and the rear. I feel they all need to be in line with each other.
