looks as bad as the CRX one... only about an inch short, instead of two inches.
No sense putting on some other car's lip if it doesn't fit. Just makes you look like you are too cheap to do it right.

But yeah, you can find 'em for cheaper, you just gotta approach random S13 owners (like, older women/men) and just say;
"Hey, I'll give you $50 right now if I can just take that little piece off your car... FIFTY BUCKS!!!"

To be honest it doesnt look that good, sorry.
I put my lip on today, it looks pretty awesome. I can't get the center to line up perfectly but no big deal.
For those saying that the lip is short of the bumper by about an inch. The stock S4 lip is also short of the bumper about a inch.
Thanks for the writeup!

I put a 626 lip on my car. I have about an inch gap in the middle where the 2 pieces meet due to my front being fooked for some reason. I fixed the problem with some black silicone mixed with Black paint(to make it blacker) and then I painted the whole thing black. It looks great. Dont have a pic of it though.
heres my 240 lip. i like it the best out of the lips that arent made to fit a fc.

Sorry if I **** off everyone else with the 626 lip, but today I put the 626 lip on my car, and it was easy as hell. Other people have said it seems like it was meant for the car, and theyre right. I had to cut two places and just screw 4 bolts through the plastic, other than that it fit great.
Heres how:
Step 1: Go to your salvage yard and find an older 626, late 80's/ early 90's, mine came off of a 91. I got it for $15.75.
Step 2: Grab your tools, I needed a 1/4 drive screwdriver, a 1/4 drive 8mm socket, a 1/4 dirve 10 mmm socket, 10mm wrench, and a carpet knife. Now, look at your old lip then jack the car up. After that, set the new one under and do a mockup for fun.
Step 3: Unbolt the old stock lip, and save the bolts! After that, center the new lip, and start mounting one side, you will need to cut once in each corner to clear a bolt(youll see in the following side pics). After that, line up the holes, with the middle of the 2 piece lip in the center, start bolting it on to your liking. then once you've got both side up, attach the middle together. I used a large washer and a spare 10mm bolt and 10mm nut. I pushed it through the holes in the lip and then set the wahser on top of the bumper hole and bolted it together.
Then you're done.
Optional step 4: Armorall the bitch and take the car out for a test drive!
Hope thats easy enough!
It took me about 30-45 minutes to put it on.
And yes, the car is 3 different colors, and yes, it's getting painted VERY soon.
