opinions on front lip
my old setup, lip got ripped off in Tdot snow.



looking at getting either
- mugen lip
- spoon lip
- type-r again
- type-b
- oem

dont want something thatll rub too much (i hate ABS). pls post experiences on either of these lips posted. thanks in advance

I absolutely love my Mugen lip. It's been through hell and still looks damn good.

The Type-R looks killer on your car in that pic, I'd get another one of those.

werd fitment is pretty good, may be just a little tight, but it lines up perfectly with the bumper since it is specifically molded for the 7thgen. not to mention it looks good too. but... sadly, it is also made out of abs.

or u can try the "spoon style" carbon fiber lip and not mugen style. u can get it from VIS. it is a bit pricey though.

If you hate abs, why would you get a type-r lip again?
I would say type-r or oem.

I have the mugen style front lip, oem side skirts and rear lip on the way. **** is going to look tight. that type r looks good too. but like the mugen better. nothing is better than abs. all the oem bumpers and lips are abs. if urethane was better, they'd make the bumpers out of it......
