Are they totally made out of carbon fiber, or just overlayed? Someone needs to mount those on a car so that we will be able to see the end results...

Looks like it will hang a bit lower than the stock lip.

I can't tell. Is the 98+ just the OEM ITR lip in CF, or is it lower?

The quality seems good from the pictures, but $380+ still seems like a lot of money to spend for very minimal weight savings and for something that will undoubtedly get pretty beaten up in the long run. On the other hand, the openings on the 94-97 version might provide some functionality, albeit nothing that a urethane lip couldn't also accomplish. Then again, carbon fiber is carbon fiber.

If my front one gets any worse, I may go for one of these. Currently it looks like it's been through a blender. If it looks like it went through a wood chipper, well, it'll really be time to change it.

I beg your pardon ... didn't read all the captions... Ed

It would be nice if the 94-97 lips had a bit more of an angle to them, but it looks good none the less!

Well I to have been looking for a lip for my integra and this one looks nice, I def like the carbon pattern, but I think I would really need to see it on a car to really make up my mind. DO you know how much farther down it hangs from a stock lip?
