compuvision02 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Hey, Not sure what I should do, a few people said keep my lip, but I am 99.9% ready to switch over to another. I would love the Backyard Special Carbon Fiber Lip, but that is a lot of money for something that is going to, in the end, get messed up. So, should I keep this... Mugen WWRS Lip (Replica) ...or should I get this... Mugen V3 Carbon Fiber Lip (Replica) ...or do you have other options? I don't want to spend over $250, I found someone who said they would buy my lip for $75, which is what I paid for it new. I think the other lip looks more aggressive, plus it will match a lot more down the road. I already have the VIS OEM Style Carbon Fiber Hood, I am picking up a Spoon Style Carbon Fiber Duckbill Spoiler tonight, and I want to get the OEM Style Carbon Fiber Hatch and Spoon Style Carbon Fiber Mirrors. What do you guys think? -Rob
compuvision02 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 That's what I figured. Plus, it will match a lot better. The OEM side skirts and the Civic SiR lip are the only "basic" non-carbon fiber pieces I won't have, so it should work out better. I could get carbon fiber side skirts and the SiR or Type-R style rear lip in carbon fiber, but that's a little over board. Plus, the side skirts are expensive!

Ben. Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 his car is red. the white car is one of jdmcrap's janky ass model cars.
JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I think you should stick to the polyurethane lip. You are right, the CF lip will just tear at your heart everytime you scrape on a driveway or speedbump.
xxscaxx Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 his car is red. the white car is one of jdmcrap's janky ass model cars. oh yeah, durh. i was thinking for a while and saying... i swear his sig used to have a red hatch in it lol. well good b/c it looks nice on the red anyway.
90IntegraC1 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 that 1st pic doesn't do your lip now any justice.... you need to post a pic of your car with that lip, because I like your lip now a lot more than that CF one...and CF is gonna suck when you mess it up lol.
Ben. Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I cried when I cracked my seibon cf mugen front lip on my EJ6. well. not really. but it was close. i heard it. "CRUNCH"..to which I responded with "OOOH, f*ck!" And, yes. The carbon lip on red looks awesome.
compuvision02 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Well that's the reason I don't want to spend the money on a $500+ Backyard Special Carbon Fiber Lip. Sure, it's baller as hell, but I'd cry when it gets messed up. $230 isn't that big of a deal and it will last a bit, mine isn't too bad and I learned the roads on it, it's much different now that I know the roads with the lip. I barely scrape it anymore. I'll post one of my hatch in a few.
compuvision02 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 I don't know, everytime I look at the V3 I like it more and more.
Humphries Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 mugen front valances are always too low to the ground. its sexy but not practical for a DD
compuvision02 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 I like being low, I want to drop my car lower too. =)
CRG7 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I'd say to just hold onto what you have for now, and put the money towards something else. When you run out of things to do with it, then you can always look into "upgrading" to a CF lip.
lceah Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 it's just a lip so CF or not! If you are going CF other parts, then I guess CF lip would go with those...but the pic of your car with the current lip is HOT! your car is just too good! I want it! lol exchange+ with mine at HF meet? I know you aren't selling it but eh, shot in the dark!
xxscaxx Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 i still like the CF lip. but your lip now is nice too.
compuvision02 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 If my camera stops being stupid, I will post new picture or two today in the day light.
compuvision02 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 My build up thread has new pictures so you can decide...
