carbon is nice, but pricy to put on the front of your car if someone should steal it or if it gets hit on a curb or driveway depending on how low your car is.

my all time favourite kit is the mugen replica wings west RS lip kit. the kit is simple, clean and works nicely on the 92-95 civics, not to mention is lowers the profile of the rear bumper for smoother flowing lines:

this is the kit i'm planning to put on my civic. up until recently i thought wings west was defunct and these kits were no longer available. good news is they're back and running again.

you can get them right from WW: http://www.wingswest.com/products_detail.asp?page=1&id=387

or from tuners outlet on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3APIC&viewitem=&item=250042207077&rd=1&rd=1

and if you rivet the lip on its pretty hard to steal!! unless your thief has a drill and some time ! watch your car , alarms work too !true, but myself i wouldn't be too hot on the idea of drilling holes into a $300+ front lip AND my $400 oem bumper THEN putting rivets into it in case you ever have to remove it for some reason or if it breaks. also, don't kid yourself dude, if someone wants it bad enough, they'll take it even if it means breaking it. ask one of the members on here who had his cf duckbill and vision ambers stolen TWICE :o

your call tho :TU:

the WWRS lip is sick on 5th gen coupes and hatches, the best looking one IMO it just flows really well with the body lines of those cars.

i like the rear lip because for some reason, honda made the bottom profiles of the 5th gen rear bumpers strangely high and it almost seems as if they had plans to offer a rear lip of their own but never did. it's odd that the bottom of the rear bumper is shaped the way it is and honda left it like that :noway:
