01-03 front lip debate.

You know, I can never decide on what front lip to get for my 01 coupe.
So far I know that there is the-
Mugen style,
Spoon style
OEM
OEM aero
RS
type B
type r
Kaminari
and the Wings West lip which IMO sucks.
What do you guys think is the best lip? Pics could help this debate.
As for myself, it currently lies between the spoon style, the type r and the rs, who knows if I'll ever decide.

Re: 01-03 front lip debate.

rs would be original - i dont recall anyone from socal having that.
if you get OEM aero, you wouldnt be able to have fogs.
Since ur jsut going for the front lip, i would pick something that isnt too aggressive or stands out too much. so just say no to kaminari!

Re: 01-03 front lip debate.

I've decided to go with the rs lip.
I think it looks natural to the car and doesn't hang too low.
And like kari said, it's not the most common.

Re: 01-03 front lip debate.

Well, ken your lip is pretty cool and definitely not the usual.
I'm trying to make my car look nicer but stay subtle at the same time.

Re: 01-03 front lip debate.

spoon lip man! i miss my spoon lip ****ing dogs. mugen lips dont flow right with our cars cuz its to flat and our car is already flat looking in the front. rs lip is nice cuz its just an extenstion of the existing bumper so nobody would know. type r is okay if you want to look like everyone and their mother. sadly i do look like everyone and there mother. just get a spoon you'll love it

Hmm, I'd like to see a spoon lip that is painted. It's definitely better than the mugen and more interesting than the type r.
