Well with a bit of finess you can make the earlier model "pignose/zenki" lip fit on a chuki. I replace the pignose bumper on my car with a chuki after I wrecked it, and I am still using the same lip.

Here is picture of my car, though not a very good shot of the lip. I am sure searching will turn up other options.

The only other lip I can think of is the Xenon lip, which Im not sure is in production anymore.

The pignose lip is really popular because of its price and availability. Looks pretty good too. The xenon lip is the best looking lip for the chuki front imo, and they are still being sold, you have to really look though. The price is kinda crazy though, $250ish.

With a bit of modification the front lip from and 4th generation accord can fit and it looks just like the Stock chuki lip.

Xenon lip isn't that expensive when you compare it to the price of the dinky OEM chuki lip. I can't believe I wasted my money on that trash. Plus the Xenon lip is very durable as well. Never heard one person complain about it once they bought one.

Yeah that xenon lips looks serious on the chuki front . . Anyone know websites that sell them . . Seen one for 400 bucks no way . . Anywhere else?

Also thinking of the accord lip either oem or aftermarket one from ebay

There's plenty of places that sell the Xenon lip. You have to search for Xenon Air Dam part# 5351. I see them all the time for about $267. The key is to find a seller that will do free shipping. Thats where all the markup comes from...

Anyways, try this one.

You also may want to search for some installation threads. If I remember correctly, a little trimming is required. But that might just be for intercooled cars... I can't remember. :gotme
