I say if you get a cf hood, then get a cf lip. If you don't plan on getting a cf hood, then get a white lip.

that lip is just wrong looking for a stock-body TC. it looks like a "mugen style" lip that was made from a civic lip and made to fit onto every car in the world . get a smooth, clean lip for your car so it flows with the body lines.

but to answer our orginal question, white looks better and more clean

but its made out of phiber glass.. something that i want to stay completely!!! away from. they are trying to make this lip out of c/f but it needs a group buy of 10 and so far theres 2 lol. so im stuck in a rut. i dont want the OEM one because i dont feel like drilling into the bumper to mount it.

</TD></TR></TABLE>
phiber glass is fake fiber glass? lol.

but really just get the stock one and double side sticky tape it. Im guessing that is what you would have to do if you got a CF one.

you cant. the way the OEM lip mounts it needs clips that get drilled. plus im not a fan of the OEM one because the bottom front section sticks out. and costs almost 200 bucks UNPAINTED! lol.. would rather go in a dif. direction.

i thought so also but you cant compare a tc to an s2k lol.. also i havent seen the "quality" of the fiberglass. last thing i need to happen is a fly hitting the lip and having the lip explode on me lol. and from what i have read and seen, it seem very very thin and flimsy! which is why i would like to stay away from it.

I don't think it's a girl car.

There are like 5 at my work and only one is driven by a girl.
