Recommendation on lips please.
Ok, I have the opportunity and the money to purchase a set of lip/lips for my car, 6th gen coupe.
For those with accounts at groupbuycenter.com, here's the link: http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.asp?row_id=5604
Pics anyway:
If I buy the front mugen lip and the rear type-r lip, would that look alright? Or should I purchase the the type-r front and rear lips. Or just the front mugen lip? I dunno, don't have money to burn, just want to hear some opinions...

The only problem is Mugen didn't make that particular lip for the 96-98. They made that whole kit, or the lip kit... and neither of them look anything like that. That Mugen lip spoiler is for the 99-00. If you like the way that it looks then go for it. I personally think the CTR or Spoon lip looks better on our (96-98) particular model. Just my $.02

How is the fittment of plastic lips? As compaired to urathane? Is it really worth almost twice as much to get a urathane lip?

Hey DXR, is your top grill a real deal or one with the 'grill mesh' stuff. It looks really good.
As for the copied lips, is being made out of urathane make it a better fit than made out of plastic? I mean, they are both copies.

I bought the replica MUGEN lip they suck it look gay if you put it on the way they want you to put it on. I had to make mine fit and did a little custom mounting. I suggest buying the real thing.

GCEX, if I were you, I would buy a Civic Type R lip. However, I would not buy any of the lips above because they are made of plastic. 
Save up some more money and buy a urethane lip.
