i have a mugen style lip kit...and i think type b rear lip... you will save a lot more money on lip kits...secondly, try to get an ABS plastic lip kit cuz at the long run, you will end up scratching it once or twice or evenmore like me...lol

I have fiberglass body kit and hate it! The repairs are worth more than the kit it self! I am on my second bumper... and this one I did right... I have a Polyurethane front bumper now (was a R33 full kit). Also I have cracked and repaired the side skirt... and need to repaint and repair the back bumper. This is all funny because I have yet to lower it. If I have another car with a fresh start I would go with a lip kit. Never go with fiberglass because it cracks easier! You are saving money now but that extra money you saved, you will be spending it on repairs. Plus the lip kit look better. Hoped I helped.

I have a mugen front lip.. Front lips look more clean than a full body kit IMO.
