Default Wings West G5 vs. Type R lips

Hey ya'll, just wondering what you guys thought of the urethane G5 lip kit that Wings West makes.

The wing thingys on the front and sides look a little ricey to me.
Although I do like how the rear lip looks.

Anybody have any pics of their rear lips installed?
Im particularly trying to compare the 'G5' and 'Type R' rear lips to decide how low they look compared to eachother.

To be honest, I really don't think much of many lip kits out there. The only one that interests me in the slightest is this one:

Honda OEM

I used the Type R rear lip for a while.

It actually didnt look half bad, other than i cracked mine during installation. The only fault i have with it, is its VERY flimsy, the middle support brackets are CRAP and really dont do anything.

If u search around the picture thread u will see my car with all black lips, there will be a few shots of the type R rear lip installed.
