It looks alright, I personally like the C-west lip more.

Great looking lip, makes the font a whole bunch better.
Not a big fan of the RSX but it grows on me.

just warning you, if your DC5 is slammed, then you will destroy your lip very easily.

That lip looks decent, but I personally don't like how they kind of "extended" the foglight holes, or actually just made an extra set of holes down there, kinda looks like you are missing some turn signals or something. But overall the lip is nice, as for me, Type-R lip

These lips seem to break easily. From posts I've read on clubrsx, they are not durable at all.

i find the c-west lip makes the car too boxy

I personally only read of one post that a guy broke his lip cuz he parked into a curb and his car wasnt even lowered. Of course its gonna break if run into a curb. Just the users mistake if you ask me. Ive scraped mine pretty hard and havent had any problems with it. Just have some deep scratches on the bottom.

I don't know, I've read several posts about people breaking the lip from hitting it off the ground. I know I've slammed my roja lip off the ground several times and it hasn't broke yet. It's alot more durable then the Greddy

the way i see the two lips affecting driving is- the GReddy lip is lower then the C-West so with an 1 1/2" drop, that **** is gonna be hovering right above the ground, however the C-West Lip sticks out farther so u have to be careful of curbs(thats why I don't have my C-West anymore) And I was actually just debating over whether or not I wanted to reorder another C-West or save over $55 and get the GReddy, cause lips get damaged so easily, and I'll probably be shopping for another one in a few monthes.

ohh and "14eights" i tried e-mailing u, but it don't work. I live in a one boring as town in CT too, send me an e-mail and let me know where u at, cause I just might want to take u up on the headlight blackening offer.
