Personally, I would choose one of the following:

Genuine Mugen Front end:



or just the regular factory body kit:



I had a '01 prelude with the VIS mugen replica, it was horrible. If you go that route, I suggest you get the genuine article. It's well worth the price.

Good luck!

I'm with Chang, nice lip kit or the Mugen. The real Mugen is pricey, but nice! A friend of mine had a replica Mugen from one of those places that makes them out of that "blue" frp, and he was pretty satisfied w/ the fit. As long as the body shop that's working on it is good, it should come out pretty good. OEM is virtually impossible to get, but I think it's the best looking lip kit. Since OEM's so hard to fine, I'd say either the Wings West lip kit or the CF replica JDM Type-S lip.

I own a 5th gen lude, and I have the the Wings West kit. I am really happy with it. It is alittle more aggressive the the OEM lip kit, but far from rice. I always get compliments on how clean car looks with WW kit. I would definitely recommend it.

As far as the Mugen kit it replaces the entire front end and is alot of $$$$. I dont' think the look justifies the price tag. But it is Mugen

I had a lude too. The authentic mugen kit costs an arm and a leg but far and away looks the best. It really sets the car off. The WW kit is nice too, cheaper, and it's not fiberglass. The OEM kit is hard to get, since it's in high demand. It's also nice but more subtle.
