paint the stock ones,
looks so much better with a type s front lip IMO



this image is photchopped in the front and rear to simulate the use of bondo to make front and rear appear as one unit.

No. It is a Type S lip. They are different. You can order the Type S lip at Jdmland.com.

Those wheels are rota slipstreams

Btw:

OEM &gt; Type S

Type S &gt; Nothing

Haha, but, if you were going to get a Type S lip, it would be better to just leave the sideskirts stock. But if you were going to get the OEM, match. Don't get mugen rears, stock sides and a OEM front, that looks ghey

the lip on the blue lude is a type s
if you get the OEM american version it will hang much lower and will need the rest of the kit to go with it.

measure them how? bottom to top? but either way i have the entire kit at the paintshop, i wont have it back till monday or tuesday.

but if i can remember since i spent alot of time trying to prep it for paint, the bottom to top measurement is roughly 3.5 to 4inches depending how you measure it since it has alot of contours

if you're trying to gauge how the car would look without side skirts, it's like how graphic's first blue car looks. he has stock sides and rear and an oem front. the oem rear will line up well with the stock sides but the sides will just look dull in comparison with how sharp the front and rear lip is
