Did they say what they're charging for shipping? I've seen a few places selling those knockoff lips for 40-50 dollars, but charging 50-70 for shipping, and I know Newman does it for 85 shipped now.

What year is your Civic?

I've seen the Mugen style lip on 96-98 Civics and I don't think it looks right. On a 96-98 I would go with the CTR style lip and on 99-00 I would go with either lip.

IMO:
CTR Lip is very clean
Mugen Lip is also nice, but note it is a little lower.

I see. Your car isn't too low.

Either CTR or Mugen would look nice IMO. I'd get one painted though, it would fit your clean car nicely.

Edit: Come to think of it, if you decide to go the painted route, try to pickup a Si/CTR grill. It would complete your front end nicely.

I planned on getting everything painted this spring anyways (I have an si grille I need to put on as well. it has been sitting in my room for like 4 months now ) I just painted it black in the meantime. I'm still getting the mugen, its what I had b4 and I think it looked damn spiffy

Good deal. I also always have parts sitting in my room waiting to be put on.

Good luck to you, tires/tire parts have also owned me on the freeway. I don't know if it's a Cali thing, but it's all over on the roads here.

apparently here in SC where my parents live too. I was out running errands for my mom so thats why she offered to pay for it. No way of avoiding it either (I had cars all around me so I couldnt slam on my breaks on the highway) Damn dept of trans. needs to clean that **** up. At least it was a clean break off tho and it didn rip the previous holes I drilled in my front bumper, so I can just drill and bolt it right back up again

the mugen lip sits way too low compared to the side skirts.

cant beat the fit of a oem product.

I'm too set in my ways to budge from getting it, plus I'm so used to looking at that.. I would really want it to be a spoon replica but I don't know.

as for the fitment...my replica fit pretty damn good. basically no gap on the sides. It kinda just snapped on, it really didnt need to be bolted in, it probably would have stayed on its own
