Re: Advice....

Honestly, nothing looks better than an OEM bumper with lip kit.

Even the higher end kits are pretty ugly and rice.

I agree, stock + lip. That being said, you like your underglow?

Re: Advice....

I have a 2000 Mugen lip. I had the whole car repainted after doing a ****-ton of body work and I like the clean, complete look. I've seen a bunch of random lips thrown on too and left black that look good. Depends how patient you are with it haha

The best looking lip is the OEM one, it's no comparison to any of the other lips they have on ebay. The OEM ebay knock off lip is $125 though.

Yea OEM is definately best looking. But i wasn't including it because of price. At $299 retail ($210 online) before shipping, it's a little expensive for my taste so i posted a cheaper, decent looking alternative.

I didn't notice, i'm not stupid. That doesn't change the fact that the product is $30. Shipping changed depending on where you live, if i lived next door to him i'd only be paying $30.

No, they set the price low to make it appealing to people and then charge out the *** on shipping.

Re: Advice....

I always search price+shipping to weed out the crazy shipping charges.

There's also the $10 volvo lip option..
