Doesn't flow well. The front is very round and the lip has a square appearance due to the hard lines at the bottom. If it rolled under better it would make a lot of difference.

A for effort though.

i think it looks cheap... in the honda world those lips have been knocked off and copied over and over and seen on every car from a civic, accord, prelude, integra, del sol... whatever you name it...

i guess its because i came from hondas and got tired of seeing them

just looking at the first pic i can tell its one of those cheap abs plastic lips

Looks nice, I wonder if the Integra Type R OEM lip will look nice on
the SC. I've always liked that lip maybe someone can photoshop it?

the older OEM lips are extremely cheap now-a-days. I'd rather modify that then use one from a civic...

imagine this scenario...

civic dude: "hey! that looks like my front lip on the SC.. WTF?!?!"

other: "yeah man, it was cheaper to put a honda part on my car"

NO offense .... just my opinion.
