depends, I like the ctr, but sideskirts and lip must be painted to match the car to pull off,
sir looks good and its a plug and play affair, and it does look considerably better with bumper moldings...

if the molding and sideskirts are painted then the ctr lip looks better, if sides and skirts are black then the sir looks better.

the ctr lip essentially makes the bumper "flush" by filling the dip toward the bottom of the bumper so it looks almost like a mold..

make sense?

SiR ads on to the overall height of the bumper i guess.. the ctr molds to it.


edit: looks good on some cars that are "themed" right..

I know that it grabs onto the bumper. I have a lip that does that same. I put it on. I'm not dumb enough to not understand that part.

I'm curious by what you mean when you said "I'm not 100%" on it.

Btw, the CTR lip does add height to the bumper as well. The height of the SiR and CTR lips on bumpers is actually just about the same.
