Default Wings West lip.

Okay, I know the lip isn't easy to see in the first few photos, sorry about that. I've been looking at you guys and your big lips, and I thought I might have to get one. The Honda one is just too plain. No ooompa. The autodynamic one mimics the one for the 96-98 Civic, and is cool, but I was worried about fitment.

The Wings West RS series front lip seemed like a good buy, and a fair appearance. Hopefully, it's marginally functional.

There was no lip on the car before.

I guess the pictures are as crappy as I thought. Booo.

Maybe this will help a little. The lighting is a little better in this older pic of my car. IMO, the lip looks much nicer when not painted...Matches the rest of my black moldings. Not to mention if I scrape it at all, it never shows.

I agree 100%.
If the rest of your moldings are black, leave the lip black. It looks great!

Btw, rad hatch Thunderlips!

Functional hood scoops with ram/cold air.

I like the function. Needless to say, I kind of like the look of it too.

Did someone say Wings West? Here's mine, I wanted the autodynamic but couldn't find anyone that had it separate from the rear one. So I got this one for $75, found it in a shop in Glen Burnie, MD. The guy behind the counter didn't know what car it was for and said I could have it for $75, damn sometimes its good to hold out for a better deal.

1995 Honda Civic CX, Bone Stock B18C 13.3@104.
How?

Oh, edit - Bone stock B18C

I thought at first read - CX, Bone stock 13.3. You'd be the man then.

WW lip is the cleanest for that car. Go with it.
BTW is your hood painted? It doesn't seem to match very well from the pics.

The Wings West Lip looks so clean
That hood on that Hatch looks kind of ugly but if it sucks in more air i guess it good

Nope. Out of the box fiberglass gelcoat. It feeds the intake cold air. Maybe someday I'll get the whole car painted.

130 mph on the back stretch at VIR. I actually like it, but I guess more for the function than anything.
