Keep it and continue to beat on it. That's what my plan is.

yea gabe, thats the one i'm talking about, howd you like that lip.

I like it better than the ctr and the sir, i also think it looks the best paintmatched along with the sideskirts on the 96-98 models.

was urs urethane or abs?

good enough, thanks man

just a side note tho gabe, i noticed that ur lip seems to follow the lines of the bumper evenly all the way to the wheel well. I noticed that when some people have these lips mounted on there cars, like Silver97EX for example, theyre lip seems to come up at the edges.

that is one thing i'd like to stay away from if possible. I believe those people might be mounting it a certain way that makes it look like that, not positive tho

I made sure of this by following the mold line of the bumper. It's about an inch above where you should actually mount the lip to. I know what you mean...I hate seeing the lips that curve up and aren't straight with the body line of the car/sideskirts. Just take your time when mounting it. The problem for most people is they're probably too lazy to remove the bumper to install the lip. Doing so makes it soo much easier to get the lip on there just right.

Its ABS....but it was recently broken into three pieces due to a snow banking and driving home in the snow with summer tires...

Other than that, I had it for a year or so with no problems. I'm undecided if I want to go with that one again or go with a 96-98 CTR.

i had the urethane sir, and that broke this winter the same way as ur mugen did.

I also like the ctr, but i wouldn't drop 300$ on an oem, and i don't know if i'd be happy settling with the knock off, so my only really other option is the mugen, and i think it looks pretty cool paintmatched with sideskirts

Yeah..thats pretty much the same kind of thinking i've been doing for a lil bit now.

I really liked how this one looked and everything. I'm just not sure if I want to get it again or go for a different one, ya know..!
