Default ej8 front lips .. mugen, sir, ctr, or type r

ok guys i have a WHITE 97 ex coupe .. im going to get the side skirts painted, the rest of the vehicle is totally stock for right now .. im so up in the air about lips .. i would preferably like the lip painted to match the car, b/c i think it looks nicer on white cars

i like the mugen and the ctr a lot, the sir i also like, but sometimes i like it more than other times .. the type r is kind of not stock looking at all imo .. so anyway let me know what u guys think

I don't care how played out the mugen or the mugen replica is, It looks the best and is totally the best bang for the buck.

So "type r" means a fakey Si lip right? Are you talking about the actual mugen lip or the knockoff as well?

If yes to both those, then I say ctr.

I love the '96spec CTR lip, but a cf mugen is nice too... I'd get both and alternate, CTR for daily, and cf mugen for weekend stuntin

here my take...

Select a link to place your vote.

SiR (48%, 12 votes) - YES IF ITS real.

CTR paint matched white (36%, 9 votes) - YES IF ITS REAL

Mugen paint matched (8%, 2 votes) - Yes if its real

Type R paint matched (8%, 2 votes) - WTF its the same as #2

(25 total votes)

cant vote till i see the car

Huh? The "type r" isn't a real lip unless you're getting a real 99-00 ctr/si lip and putting it on your 96-98. And the real mugen lip isn't on there, the "mugen" lip is on there but thats the 99-00 design. So the only real ones are the Sir and the 96-98 Ctr lips.

The Type R Style is fake and hideous and the Mugen style is a knockoff of a 99-00 Civic Mugen lip. The CTR or SiR lips are the only way to go...my vote went for CTR because I like how well it integrates with the front bumper's curves.

Hey dick, he was the one spouting off about them all being "real", I was correcting him. And finding out which one is real determines what that lip will look like since "mugen" almost always means 99-00 mugen and "type r" almost always means a fake 99-00 si lip, since he has a 96-98 that makes it confusing when he says they'll all be "real". Take your confrontational bullshit some place else.

The CTR lip is about $300. I'd go for the Si-R for sure. There's no better lip for the 96-98 front imo.
