Default Which Lip looks better, 99-00 OEM Rear Lip or 96-98 OEM Rear Lip?

I'm trying to decide between the two. I have two options;
A) Buy the 99-00 Rear bumper and TRY to get an 99-00 oem rear lip spoiler.
or
B) Just get a 96-98 Rear bumper and get the 96-98 OEM Rear lip spoiler (I think they aren't discontinued, i could be wrong, let me know so i can shoot myself.) Thanks.

96-98 oem was discontinued, its hard to find now
i'm in the same dilemma, i have a 96-98 lip sitting here right now, i can't decide if i should put it on or sell it and get a 99-00 bumper.. the 96-98 seems like it might hang down a little too low... maybe

Both but the non-oem one is a little more clean and sleeker !

Both of them looks good. But I would choose 98 cause it even ups with the sides better.

96-98 OEM. I would get it but for some reason it looks best on red, black, and white cars. So, I have the type r rear lip.

that picture of the 96-98 rear lip makes it look horrible. you have to see it in person to do it justice, its not as bulky as it looks.

much better than the 99-00 imo.

the lips off the 99-00 civics look way nicer. they are also very hard to find if you're going oem from honda. i had an aftermarket one but it does not look as nice as oem.

96-98 looks kind of ricey imo. there is white civic around here with the 96-98. Everytime I see it, i dunno. I think about just running into the *** of it since my front bumper isn't painted and breaking that bitch off the nice car =\ But thats just me

I'm gonna have to say 99-00 also. My friend has that one on his Civic and it looks nice and clean. Not too flashy or anything.

Tell me if I am interpreting this right guys....

A 99-00 rear bumper will fit on a 96-98 car? Currently I have a 96-98 car with a 99-00 bumper cover and it fits like ****.
