It's not OEM.
It looks like garbage.
And for that price I bet it doesn't fit well either.
I wouldn't buy it.

I found out that my sister's car has this lip kit on the rear and sides, but she has the OEM front lip. If you want to see closer pictures, click on my thread link and look at the last 2 or 3 pages where her car and mine are in more than a few pictures together.

I do have to admit, the kit fits pretty damn well, so fitment isn't really an issue.

As for the front lip, I've seen pictures of about 3 cars over the course of looking on this site and PreludePower.com and it looks halfway decent. The fit seems good too, but it's all a bit much to us that have the OEM front lip because we like the slimmer profile and cleaner look. The front lip for this kit (Valuesport) is more like a really mild body kit in my opinion.

P.S. My sisters lip kit also has no deficiencies in the paint, however my Wings West rear lip has been having paint chip off it recently in the most bizarre places. Perhaps it was how it was painted, but I'm not sure. The bodyshop that did it was supposedly the best body shop in the whole area and their quality always seemed excellent to me.

Ive seen the front lip of this in a pic somewhere on the car. It actually looks really nice. So much that Ive been tempted to replace my oem with it at some point maybe.

this lip kit looks nice like the poster above me said. The thing is, it's not good quality and someone with a trained eye can tell that it's a cheap pos. Just save up a few more bucks and get something OEM. Or save up even more and get a Motegi kit from Europe. I can even help you get it.

Trust me, in the end, you will be happy and everyone will be happy. Especially some more years will pass and you will realize that pretty much everything aftermarket is crap.

your sister only has the rear, the sides are not the same. plz don't think so.


anyone who thinks they have seen this lip on a lude needs to post the picture they are referencing to because i have doubts it's the lip you think it is. if you browse a lot of japanese prelude forums you may have seen it, in which case you should post the photo. otherwise it's a lip not commonly seen til now.

the motegi is an oem option in europe that will be more difficult to find than oem, for a good price at least.

you most likely won't find any kit in your color so cost of paint is one of those things everyone incurs unless they are lucky.

if you can wait until you find a great deal on the oem kit, then you can always pick up an ebay p1 lip and roll around with that for a while. it's clean enough and pretty subtle that you don't need sides or rear. it goes well with stock and doesn't need to be painted.

You know how 4th genners install that Accord rear lip all the time? Does anyone by any chance know if that Accord rear lip will fit a 5th gen?
