Default Front Lip Question

I am fabricating my air dam / splitter .... have the brackets.... found a supplier for the material for the splitter.... now just need to think about the air dam...

I am trying to buy something that is
1. Cheap
2. Lower than our stock lip

I am thinking of the "Mugen" style lips that I see on ebay.

Do you know if they are lower than our stock lips? With my USDM front end, am I limited to only USDM or the JDM and USDM front lips are interchangeable?

If you were going to get a lip where would you buy it from?

Yes, but I know the real Mugen lip only fits 94-97 front bumpers, as well as the replica lips, Not sure if they made one (Replica) to fit a 98-01 front bumper.

I don't recall there being a Mugen "front lip".
And even then, it was a whole nose (and hood) for a JDM front end.

On the other hand the "Sp00n" lip is popular.

The stuff on ebay that says "Mugen" style or "M" style look nothing like that. This is from ebay:



and



I don't particularily like the two holes, but haven't found anything else yet.

the non JDM 98-01 front end sucks for lip options, unless you want a potentially badly fitting no-name thing from ebay

Also David, they're completely garbage fitting too, don't even bother, another thing... the reason they look different is because they're making replica Mugen Civic Lips and making them for 98-01 DC2 front bumpers.

Here's is what I'm going for on my USDM 94-97 Mugen front lip, Elton, the owner of this car is actually building it for me replicating his own. His is a real Mugen lip as well...

I know this is an old threat, but...The Mugen front lip on Elton's Integra, is it actually just the nose from a Mugen JDM front bumper, or did Mugen actually make a front lip for the 94-97?

Mugen made a specific lip for JDM '93-94 and USDM '94-97 front ends.
