To the OP, pretty sure other people have made the same lip fit on their Accord. I'm sure someone will chime in soon enough.

I love the Mugen bumper on your car I dont like the Mugen lip for the 05/06 RSX though.
ABS lips are a lot less forgiving and you definitely need to be more careful with these. That being said, I just installed my mugen replica that I bought from bayson r.
If you can, have a friend help you out.
If youre starting with your drivers side, turn your wheel all the way to the right so you have space to use your screwdriver.
Screw the top first, make sure you screw as close to the edge/top corner as possible without leaving it too thin (not so close that the screw will crack off).
Turn your wheel all the way to the left. Heres the tricky part. If you just try to wrap the lip around the corner, its not gonna work. In fact, its gonna look an inch or so short. What you want to do is lower the lip right below the bottom of the corner and slide it up. Its not gonna be smooth. It will help if your friend gently pulls the lip towards you to create space. Its gonna take some effort to get it up to the desirable height. When you get it there, have your friend hold it in place while pushing it in, then screw.
Take a step back and see if its even and to your liking.
Uninstall the lip, use 3M red doublesided tape and use it at least in the center. I used about 3" in the middle and 3" about half a foot apart on each side.
Put the lip back on and install the other 2 screws.
Hope this helps.

Word of advice: Do NOT get the ABS-plastic lips. My first lip cracked in half going out a steep driveway and was dragging under my car.. It was a sad, sad day.
Get the Polyurethane Mugen lip on BaysonR like others have recommended. I've had one for about 3 months now and it's great.. I could scrape a million times and it will not break or crack.
I don't think they have one for the coupes.. but you could always modify the sedan ones to fit. I got the poly-urethane lip for my 02 sedan but it needed a bit of modification. But it fits the 98-00 sedans perfectly without modification. Just follow PureZ's instructions above and you should be fine.
