Functional Lips??
I am looking into a lip for my Eg hatch... any suggestions? I am going more for function than looks. My damn car floats on the highway. I am also getting a duckbill to take care of the back. But feel free to post pics. thanks

How 'bout fabricating a splitter out of plywood or something? Take a look at the August or July issue of SCC... they made one for the Sentra they're using in the SCCA racing series.

actually if anyone remembers roger foo's 5th gen civic dx race car that took part in the old speedvision series... that yellow one... his front splitter was also made of plywood.... its ideal cause its light weight and if it breaks... its no big deal

I remember Roger Foo in the Skunk2 Civic... NICE!!!

OEM for my car is an option...dunno about what comes on the 5th gens, though I know some of them did come with lips. Even replica lips may do the job...all you need is something to redirect air around the car to eliminate high speed lift... get a Spoon replica.
