92-93 Type R front lip (PU) Install help and fitment

Hopefully i can get some help here, dont bash me if im missing out on something… Anyway, just purchased a 92-93 type r lip polyurethane for my car. First off, the lip is alittle long so if one side fits properly, the other side has aboue half a inch poking out, Also, the brackets i received with the lip dont fit at all, they are about half the size i need. So what im trying to figure out is what is the best way to mount this lip. My old one had was kinda C shaped, that way i can just screw it into the bottom of the bumper but the new one is shaped like a L. I’d really like to just buy my old one again but its made out of ABS which i cant use cause ill end up cracking due to my cars height. The lip i bought was advertised as the same one that i had, but it was from ebay so you know how that goes… Much help would be appreciated, thank you.

comparison of the old vs the new, Completely different styles but labeled and pictured the same in the lip i purchased from ebay.

This is the bumper/lip sitting perfectly flush, and this is the bracket i was provided with to fit the lip…

Gap between the bumper/lip from the lip being too long and trying to make the ends even, also the L shaped lip doesnt allow easy scew access onto the bumper, otherwise this thread wouldnt exsist -.-

Thanks for looking, any ideas would be great!

i always end up with a little gap on one end once it goes around the curve and then straightens back out

It could be for a 90 91 bumper, I got one from Honda Day 2 years ago for my 91 bumper and it didn’t fit. So I tried it on my buddy’s 93 bump and it worked… t

It looks exactly like a 90-91 type r style lip

hey guys, thanks for the response. Im well aware of how different the lips are for the different years, i know its a 92-93 lip. The ends are long enough and so on. The only real issue im having is the fact that the lip is L shaped, which means theres no area for me to screw in the lip to bumper. The brackets provided dont work obviously, i know i can get other brackets but itd be difficult to have the it fit to the bumper perfectly

ever got the bumper to fit?

Mmmm… looks like the same lip i was planning on ordering through passwordjdm for my 93. ever tried just getting new hardware for it?. maybe they shipped you the wrong kit to instal that lip. i don’t see any mounting points under that type-r to secure it properly onto the bumper besides maybe just using a lot of 3m double sided tape?. gl and hope you got that shit on?. post pics if you do.
