Lip help..

ryansDc5 · Post by **ryansDc5** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 5:38 am

So, I should be able to buy a lip within the next week if not tomorrow. Now my question is, would the OEM flat black CTR lip look right with how the whole car was color matched, or should I get a mugen and paint it? Just looking for opinions on the matter because I can't decide. Right now I'm leaning towards the OEM flat black CTR one.

Easy answer... what color are the side skirts?

Match the color to those. That way it doesn't look funky and unbalanced

If you car is a 96-98 and you run a CTR lip you should paint it, even if the side skirts are black. The CTR lip just doesn't look right unpainted.

I think the whole match the side skirts holds true for just about any other lip.

Get the CTR lip and paint it. I hate Mugen lips on those cars.

It'll just be a replica from PasswordJDM Josh, which is 180.

hahaha that grill is nasty.

i was just saying that because you kept saying OEM CTR lip, and isnt passwords type R replica a 99-00 CTR style even on the 96-98's?
