Default 97 Honda Civic - Which lip?

I'm debating on which lip I should get for my 97 Honda Civic HB. Its either between the Type R style lip or the Mugen style lip. I'm going to keep it unpainted (abs plastic) and its gonna go on a dark purple hb.

Which one do you guys think I should go with that'll make it look better?

I say get the SiR lip. Someone on here sells a replica ABS one for cheap and it fits well, plus you can leave it black and it will look really good. It's a sponsor on here. I'll try and find the thread.

Edit: This guy is selling them, but I think you could get them through JDMshit as well.

Default Re: 97 Honda Civic - Which lip? (sky9)

there is a different type r lip thats like the 99-00 type r lips. I was referring to this one:




if you guys don't have it in the US, its in Canada. In Canada, they dont sell the 96-98 SIR lips i believe, since we never even had 96-98 sir's here.

what you guys think about this on a 96-98?
