Re:Home Made lips
I work at a BMW dealer, but i just got offered a composites fabrication position at metalcraft (the company who makes the concept cars for most of the auto manufacturers at the auto shows. I didn't take it because it's 7am-8pm every day (including weekends and I have school at night. (I WIN)

Re:Home Made lips
ok, getting back to the subject at hand (sorry guys 
)how much lower does the OEM lip hang by the bumper? I'm thinking of buying a thin sheet of metal, and then shape it like the 1992-1995 HB lip, and maybe powder coated.

Re:Home Made lips
the optional factory lip looks damn good in my opinion (for the CRX) especially if the car is lowered at all.
Ebay'll probably rip you off for one, check somewhere like http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/
Look up bumper assemblies for the CRX.
Look around on the web for different styles. Most shops that carry lips are in Europe somewhere. (I guess it's more popular over there.) Anyway, I've seen a few shops in NorthAmerica that sell a couple different styles.

Re:Home Made lips
Thanx Icarus. For the people that have the stock OEM lip: how much lower does the OEM lip hang by the bumper for a 1990-1991 CRX? I'm taking interest in the stock oem lip. Also if anybody has some pics. Thanx

Re:Home Made lips
The OEM lip drops profile an extra 1.25-1.5". That plus my H&R springs with about 1.5" drop puts my bumper a cozy 2" off the ground. Looks mean.
Now where in the hell can I find the optional 2 piece skirt for the rear bumper...

Re:Home Made lips
I think u can use wood due to the squareness of the front of the CRX. I would a strip of plywood (2-3")and cut it up into five pieces. One long piece for the front, two for the side, and two small pieces for it to go into the wheel well a little. The last two pieces are optional just so your lip wont look too homemade 
and unfinished when your wheel is turned one way. After you are done measuring and cutting each panel, go ahead and get some "L" brackets and mount the panels together. Hold your assembled prototype against the front bumper. Make the necessary bends on the "L" brackets, and cuts on the panels. Once you are happy with the wooden spoiler, go ahead and wrap it in foil as stated above and coat with fiberglass.
