HAHAHA i cant believe you guys are having a discussion about a lip on a front end that has about 3 oem choices and the OP only has two of those 3 in mind.

So many options! What to pick!

theres only one answer for that
Honda-tech and all of jdm crap land is full of "replica" stuff.
Fork the money for the real thing or u can go to jdmshit for some very nice copies.
VIS and blah blah make some good replica stuff but indeed they are also expensive.
SO lesson to be said is cheap never = quality. Why? because its cheap, exception is when you get lucky.
