Everyone I meet, say that they thought it's too big and hated it based on the pictures they saw. Once they see it in the flesh and real time, perspective they absolutely fall in love with the CR lip as I have. 
in Australia Honda never released the Type S or CR models. Relatively rare and fortunate to have OEM front and CR lip.

I’ve been looking over the various lip styles for a couple years now. My preference seems to be for very clean lines, such as the Amuse (AMS) style for AP2. The CR is also very clean, but I’m not in favor of the extra size and angle for additional downward force at the expense of increased drag. My next favorite is the OEM style.
Among the many eBay sellers, there seem to be two distinct Amuse-style (AMS) lips. Without a close look, they look the same. With a second look, the leading edge of one is narrower than the other. Looking at the images where these lips are shown installed, the narrower front edge lip seems to have a noticeably poorer fit – angled near where it wraps around to the wheel well, and even worse, warping where is seems to go under the bumper’s low front edge. If I go with this style, I’m definitely getting the lip with the slightly thicker leading edge. The images showing the wider-lip version seem to show a consistently good fitment and installation.
Color, finish, appearance: Of course matching my OEM silver body is the most conservative choice. Because of the interior, I’ve also been thinking about a black (not just the unfinished black urethane) or a slightly subdued red to hopefully offer a contrast to the silver that looks good.
Matching color or what contrasting color? Or a combination of red/black, one color on the low/leading edges, the other color on the rest, or one color on the mostly vertical surfaces, the other on the mostly horizontal surfaces?
