carbon creations front lip

I have a 01 civic LX 2dr, no body kit, not even lowered. I plan to have a front lip from carbon creations. will it look nice? or i do have to buy side skirts and a rear bumper just to even it out?

Re: carbon creations front lip

i wouldn't get carbon fiber if you plan on lowering the car cuz chances are it going to hit something sooner or later and its going to scratch or crack i would get urethane its cheaper and stronger it wil never crack and if it gets damaged your only out 50 bucks not 300.

ABS plastic is very easily cracked polyurethane you can tie into a knot twist pull and stretch its extremely durable.

I have a friend of mine that was coming by 935 motorsports in his supra. He just got his lip and while he was driving it to the shop after JUST putting it on he bottomed out and smashed the whole thing.... He was soooo mad.
