Default OEM lip or Amuse Style?

I can't decide...they both look good, but the I like the OEM one because the lip protrusion runs continuous across the front whereas the Amuse style one is rather flat across the front. Can someone post pics?

I think they both look very good, but prefer the Amuse style. It's a bit more aggressive in some angles, but is still relatively subtle.

Found these in the gallery:

OEM. Better material. Amuse looks horrible. Looks like beards on the car. So do the blue rice bulbs. You can't go wrong with OEM.

i've had both, amuse on the car right now. I like it much better. Just really depends on what kind of look you want. if you want super subtle to the non-s2000-owner, OEM. if you want a little something more, I would go with the amuse. That's why I went to it. I have a black oem lip if you are interested. It's at the body shop I had it replaced at. I would have to check on it to make sure it's still in the condition it left my car as. Which is VERY minor scratches/nicks (sp?) really on the underside that can't be seen. just thought I would throw that in if you wanna save some $.

Agreed. OEM is the way to go. Amuse looks like step-ups to reach into the engin bay

I got my OEM one new for $300 and it comes painted. It think it flows the best and you get a near perfect match to your orginal paint.
