They won't even come close to fitting and if you somehow got them to fit they wouldn't look good. If you want the lip so bad get the car it goes on.

Then get an Si..

2005 lips will NOT fit on a 6th gen without modification to the body.
You can be a ricer and add an 8th gen front end to your 97 Civic if you'd like.
not to be an ass or anything but 05 civics are 7th gen not 8th gen. and darkcreep is right, those lips are made to fit the contour of their year civic and probably wouldnt look good with the lines of your year civic. and thats not including the massive amount of modification you will have to do to the bumper.

So you want to know it a 7th gen Si or 8th gen Type R lip will fit your 1997? You do know those are three entirely different generations of Civics, right?

They say anything is possible, but why bother? And no, it's not the best choice since they already make lips for your front end.

are you asking yourself questions in your head and then answering them in your posts?
