Default Front Lip

I know this is a difficult question to ask over the internet without you being able to see the lip itself below the car - but i just bought a front lip for my 97 EX. The seller posted the lip as "5th Gen Front Lip". He said it'd fit all 94-97's, so i bought it. Now my friend tells me that the 94-95's and 96-97's have different front and rear widths, and i'm not sure if this is for the 94-95's or 96-97's. I know you probably won't be able to tell me a answer for sure; however, if you guys where to guess, do you think this will fit my 97? Also, it looks like it curves a lot more then my bumper, do the older 5th gens have slightly more of a bend to the front?

Here's the Sides of it below my car - i didn't move the lip when i took pic on both sides.




Thanks,

hmmm it doesnt look like the one I got for my 96-97. And your friend is right that 94-95 and 96-97 lips are different. I guess the easiest thing to do would be to see if it fits.


To me it looks like the 94-95 it has a more drastic angle on the turn for the sides. You be the judge:

I stink it will fit... but give it a shot. Maybe use some elbow grease to get the holes to line up.
