skip out on the risk of ebay and just go with www.hmotorsports.com, Theres quite a few people around HCF that have orderd from them (myself included) and their service is great, and they're prices cant really be beat, even on ebay

Wow flip! Great site! I have a 96 si coupe same as the american ex, the one i am looking at is this one for $79

1996-1998 Honda Civic Mu-Gen Style Bumper Lip
Fits 96-98 EK Civic 2, 3 and 4 Door Models[/b]

Now I assume this will fit on my bumper right? I still to this day don't know my car's little 2-letter code
also, how can i goabout painting this thing? lay out some newspaper, find the right paint to match and spraypaint in my garage? 2 layers i would assume?
might as well make this post count

thanks


Edit: kekeke, I am a rolling start now

Yeah man your car is an EK...so that lip should fit. And if you really wanna rattlecan it...take your paint code from your door jamb and go to a place that sells automotive paint...and they can mix up YOUR color and put it in a spray can for you.
