Which lip kit combo would be better

First things first, that's not a mugen lip, mugen has not released any lip for the FG. if u read closely to the 'EBAY' description, it says,"<U>Mugen style</U> or M-style lip." dont be fooled by cheap 95$ lips.

HFP of course...i bought one of those "fake mugen" lips for my 99Si (ABS Plastic) and it was junk, i ended up reselling it. Stay away from bootleg stuff, even though it might be a bit different from everything else, you're going to get aggrevated with the fitment and quality.

But OEM is made from ABS plastic.
The difference is there is a large amount of engineering that goes into making the OEM lip, the eBay fly by night variety.....not so much quality or engineering.

Well actually that is a mugen lip in japan,(the japanese 4 door supercharged one!??)
Don't get me wrong I'll pick the HFP over that knock off anyday!

You can't top that price!
about the look........ eh.... that lip only looks good on the JDM front end
</TD></TR></TABLE>
actually after you have the mugen one painted.. it'll cost more.. and doesnt use the oem lines.. it just looks like you.. got your tax return back and went stupid
..
hfp looks aggressive.. nice.. go with it ;]
btw you can get the full hfp kit for like 972 shipped..

i would definitely go with HFP because it is already painted and it can be covered under warranty/insurance. even though it says $85, add the $70 for shipping, and another $100 for paint (maybe more) and u are already looking at the same price is not more than HFP. its always up to the owner of the car as to which one he/she would like to go with. i would just stick with what looks nice. and when people say "i want something different. everyone has teh HFP kit" look around next time u are out driving and notice how many of them have it. i have seen about 7 si's in memphis, and not a single one of them has the kit. i have only seen one FG with the hfp rims, and it was an EX. again go with what YOU want and what YOU think looks best. just giving my opion

when you think about it, thats way too damn much for some plastic that doesn't do **** but make ur car look different
HFP looks good, the mugen style lip in MY opinion looks good (which is why i'm supposedly getting in the mail any time this fuqq year)

I thought it was worth it.
How much did you pay for the "mugen style" lip kit if you dont mind me asking?

Of course it's worth it, if it's part of your montly payments, but to shell out almost $1,000 for a lip kit?? i'd rather buy a bad *** suspension setup
$195 for the front/rear... (long story but who knows if i've just been completely scammed
) but I was told I would have it last weekend. My GFs dad is a body/fender man, so i got the paint matched side of that already hooked up

The lip kit was closer to $880 and I bought it after the fact so I'm definantly not paying for it monthly. Its "worth" comes down to opinion I suppose.
But considering the fit and finish of the HFP setup I have no regrets
