The C-west kits, especially for the EK are VERY nice. I say if you are going to replace the bumper anyways, get the C-West since it doesn't look like a big piece of ****, it's nice and simple yet very aggressive looking

I voted for the c-west. IF you DO get the c-west, make it worth your time and get the REAL c-west front.

Cwest front bumpers are made out of the material used on stock bumpers. A cwest bumper goes for about 500 Bucks but just check this. A stock bumper say about 200 a grill 150 a lip 200 .. You spend about the same . I rather get the C-West lip it looks bad *** and all it is . Is a Civic Si or type r whatever you want to call it front lip , grille and bumper molded in together but with a little style. Cwest = YUMMMMY

OEM is more durable... flexes if anything happens.
