40 views! Not one reply. I'll help. Honda offered an oem civic front spoiler for the '99-'00 model years. They came stock on the Civic Si. I'm pretty sure they came stock on any '99-'00 CTR. This popular oem "Lip" is also commonly known as the type R lip. Here is a picture of my front lip below. It is OEM.
The 6th gen Civic type R was in production from 1997-2000. That means that more than 1 front spoiler came out for the 6th gen ctr. That means calling my lip a type R lip would be incorrect. The picture below illustrates my point.
I'm sure you're wondering if it's possible to put a lip like mine onto a '96-'98 body style front end. I will not work. I'm sure it has been rigged by at least a few people, but It is not made to be interchangeable for a '96-'98 body style front end. I would look into an SiR lip for your ride. They are very nice. A mugen replica lip wouldn't look bad either. You have plenty of options. You can even do a '99-'00 front end conversion if you desire. People do all kinds of conversions. I have even seen a jdm Ingegra front end conversion on a 6th gen hatch. I hope my post helps. Jfyi, I would do some more homework.

This.
And IMO, type r "style" front lips are incredibly ugly. The flares at the end are WAY overdone. Get a Mugen style or OEM Si/CTR (they are the same lip).
Again.. Depends on the years. 96-98 and 99-00 are still still considered 6th gen. So if the lip is from 96-98 then yes it'll fit on your 97. Front ends are the same. Coupe and sedan rears can use the same lip. Hatches are different.
Yep, if you get a 96-98 front lip it wont matter if its from a hatch, coupe or sedan...they all fit the same up there. So your 97 will be fine with a front lip made for a 96-98 Civic.
i'm definitely aware of that LOL
