there is a place around here called state auto paint and you just tell them your paint code and they give you some stock paint i dunno if you have a place like that were you live.....im about to do that w/ my grill

i would DIY the stock blue

but then again the black lip would look REALLY good w/ ur fogs

Ive had both Type R and Mugen lips,

The mugen sat a lot lower, but the Type R style looks a bunch better, u just need a low car to pull it off.

Just keep looking at both of them and make a rash decision. Go with your gut and don't bother with opinions too much because everyone has different tastes.

I would say the Type-R is a better choice.

Type R is way cleaner, but more people have them. IMO it flows better with the body lines, and looks more " OEM style" than a Mugen lip. Both are nice, if u want check out my "members rides section" or watever its called, i should have pics on there of my Mugen lip, and now my Type R lip. Its on an 01-03 style front end, but it will give u an idea of the differences.

If there isnt pics of both lips, let me know and ill get u them.
