Hey guys, i got an 05 lx sedan and i want to install a front lip kit and maybe some side skirts and was wondering what lip kit you guys think would look good? If possible can you send me a link where to buy it or a picture or something. Much appreciated!

i have had 4 different front lips on my car type-r, mugen, pdm, and now the hfp front lip. my favourite by far is the hfp but they are super hard to come by now. a close second tho is the pdm lip which you can find on ebay. as for side skirts i would go with the oem aero sides.

Oh that clears things up!
Yeah im kind of leaning towards the pdm lip but im still open for suggestions.
Would you happen to know how much it would cost to have it factory painted?

nor really cost depends on were you live who pants it what paint they use and how they paint either off or on the car these lips are flimsy so painting it on the car is more work but it won't crack the paint if it bends. also if its color matched they give the option of matching the faded paint on your car so it doesn't look different that cost extra. im guessing 80-150 dollars for the lip.also i believe the pdm lip needs to be trimmed a little to fit with fog lights.

i think OEM kit looks best.
but whatever lip kit you choose, make sure its made out of polyurethane...so it wont crack/break if u scrape the ground.

i look into the oem kit and see how i like it. Thanks for the heads up about the polyurethane!
oh thats cool, i think my paint is kind of faded so color matching the lip would be ideal
150 doesn't seem to bad. Thanks for the help!
Im going to see what kit i get and i'll post pics when i install it and everything.
