Re: Front Lips.. im torn between 2

TRust me go with OEM. Ive gone through type B, Kaminiari, mugen to OEM. I will never own an ABS plastic POS lip ever again. The type B lip really damaged inside of my bumper from it shifting and moving while i go through driveways as I scrape.

Re: Front Lips.. im torn between 2
where is this place u speak of that sells that "gold" color.(inca pearl by the way). and about the oem being abs or urathane....the 01-03 oem kit is urathane and the 04-05 kit is abs. u can fold the 01-03 one in half, the new aero one is stiff as hell.
Re: Front Lips.. im torn between 2
i want a mugen lip but u people are scaring me with ur death talk about abs.
i dont like how the oem ones look and the kaminari is a tad too much for me.

Im trying not to go back with ABS plastic. I had a Type R lip that was ABS plastic, and I slid into a curb on ice and it completely shattered.
So anyone know of some other lips that are urethane besides the OEM and Kaminari front lips?
I'd like a Type R lip in urethane for 01-03 civics if there are any out there.

the aero is fiberglass i think... but i still dont see whats wrong with ABS.. and the oem being urathane... i thought urethane was more solid than plastic....

Urethane is really durable and flexible. I knew someone with a prelude that his fell off on the highway, got ran over and was still fine.
Re: Front Lips.. im torn between 2
the aero isnt fiberglass...they do make polyfiber replicas of the aero on ebay....but the honda aero kit is abs. urethane tends to fit better and last longer because its like rubber, very flexible and wont crack. its also a little thicker then most abs kits. it will tear and punture under extreme conditions. abs isnt bad, just not as good as urethane. it doesnt stretch or flex much, but has more give to it then fiberglass. now if u have good roads, and ur not a 1/2 inch off the ground and u drive sensibly(sp) u shouldnt have to worry. so urethane>abs>fiberglass. hope that helps
