Default Lips

I am getting my car painted soon and am thinking about getting a knock off mugen polyurethane lip and abs lip for the rear.

I saw the Mugen knockoff on ebay and considered buying it myself, but im lowered on the eibach pro-kit and its gonna end up getting beat up, i scrape every so often now so I'm sure it will just get worse.

Yeah, go for it man. Def get the poly for the front, especially if your lowered.
I would also go with poly for the rear if they make one for your car.

They only make the rear in ABS plastic

I think the rear lip is okay, maybe it will grow on me? Or maybe I will just cut off all of the slots so it will looks more like the 94-95 mugen rear lip. hmmmm....

guess ill order it! For anyone that has a poly lip, did you have any troubles painting it? And if the lip flexs a bit, does the paint crack and fall off?

Don't get the Mugen. Personally, it's horrendous. Let me help you explore your options.

lol I have that page bookmarked already!!!

There are some lips I like, but they are all out of my price range....let alone I cant find them very often.

IDK, the more I think about it, the more I think my lip willbe about 1 or 2 inches off the ground, so if I drive over a dead rabbit it will probably destroy the lip or rip it off.....so idk.

I am on Ground Controls with KYB AGX struts that are blown. Mine is also a DD. I have about a 1.5 finger gap in the front between the wheel and fender.

Do you have a rear lip, and what front lip do you have?

I would do it. I've gotten knock off lips from ebay before and they work great.

I have no gap and am running on 35 series tire. I don't have a rear lip only because I refuse to get a WW and can't find anything else.
