Default Question about Honda Civic EG9 Mugen lip made of Fiberglass: Yes or No

Hello,

I am searching for a long time for Mugen lip for my Honda Civic EG Sedan. My priority was to find an oem/genuine Mugen lip. However the only ones i found cost over 1000$ (not even mentioning shipping costs) wich is really ridiculous price for a lip. (I was looking something around 500$).

Well since i don't want to spend an arm and a leg for something that can easily get damaged on road, i am thinking of buying one made of fiberglass. I would love to buy a lip made from polyurethane since it is more durable, but i can't find one.

Keep in mind i want a Mugen lip that looks exactly like the genuine mugen lip and not a "mugen style lip" that can be easily found.

Well my questions are:
Does anyone have any experience with fiberglass lips? Are they any good?
Shall i buy one or should i keep my oem sir lip?

Please let me know and many thanks in advance.

Why not find a replica that is plastic, instead of fiberglass?

I believe the real ones are all fiberglass and call me crazy but I think I've seen the correct knock off one in plastic/polyurethane.

Do you happen do know someone selling a knock off one in plastic/polyurethane? Keep in mind i am searching for a lip that looks indentical to the OEM mugen lip and not a "mugen style lip". Here is a photo of how the OEM mugen lp looks like:

Than you mean mugen style...if it's not made by mugen themselves than its a replica, aka mugen style lip.

Ahh, I see. It's not a replica. Mugen-style isn't the same as Mugen replica. Silly, why not just copy the Mugen one?? Surely there's a reason Mugen designed it like they did, no need to reinvent the bloody wheel.
