Default What do you think?

Recently i decided this is one of the things i wanted to do to change it up a bit...

but personally im not feeeling the r lip at all on my car... i loved the way the carbon spoon looked (much more aggressive) i have a few ideas on how to kick the r lip up a notch but i dunno if its even worth it... maybe it will grow on me..

what do you think lol

I personally like the ITR lip more. But a lot of people have them. Either way both looks good.

Just paint the stock side skirts and keep the type-r lip. The spoon lip look's like it hang's to low dont put the type-r optional lip kit on they never look good.

QFT!! and actually paint match the spoon lip. but i likes the spoon lip better than the type r, as you stated its much more aggressive

here is a pic of the spoon lip when i had my EM1, it was paint matched and I liked it better than when it was CF

I say R lip is better. Looks more balenced with the sides than with the Carbon Fiber.

haha i'm surprised. Everyone has them now.

I like both lips, although the first one always seemed alittle "detached" from the front bumper. I still see the stock bumper even when that lip is on. I Probably made no sense.

Personally i think with the unpainted sides the spoon lip looks better.

If you were to color match the sides, it might be a different story, either way i think the spoon lip is a cooler lip

The R lip would look good if your car was another color, the silver just isn't working. SPOON FTW

Wouldn't that spoon lip break off if you went over a normal speed bump?

Low hanging CF lips look like poop.....I prefer the OEM lip much better. The CF lip looks goofy.

Agreed. It looks too big, like it doesn't belong on there.

i love that lip but my purpose in getting the r lip was so that i can get around town better... that lip hangs really low and would defeat my purpose lol it would brake so quick... but trust me if i had another daily driver this would be the lip
