you wont need side skirts with that lip
my buddy has it, his is even painted and it looks good without skirts
youll be fine
really? So far, all the pics ive seen of s2ks with just the mugen lip look kinda "unbalanced" to me with it being so low in front without sideskirts on the side.
maybe i gotta see it in person. I just dont wanna buy the lip yet until i see how this all works out.

Im a fan of the downforce side shirts that SOS sells! check them out!
yea, i like them too, but they aren't going to make the car look lower, judging from the pics ive seen. otherwise i would get them. all i can think of is lowered sideskirts with this mugen lip. fuk i dunno

Fear of tackyness gets thrown out the window when you're running the mugen lip. That lip is the tackiest thing that can go on our car. Of course, that's just my opinion and I've got my flame suit equipped.

As for something more constructive; I vote for no side skirts.

Honestly, my favorite front is the OEM lip w/ coastal metal splitter. I think it adds a slightly more aggressive touch while keeping a clean, non-flamboyant look

I was partial to the coastal metals one, now I REALLY like the downforce front splitter either in CF, the kevlar one looks nice too.

ok, i love the down force front spitter along with their side splitters. but theres 2 problems with them that irritate me for what im looking for...
1. they do not give the car a "lower" appearance
2. they are too conservative for the expensive price. i'm not prepared to spend near a grand and all of these diffusers when they are a barely noticable upgrade.

the mugen lip makes the s2k look noticably different than other s2ks unlike small front splitters

this might help you decide and I'm stock height by necessity not choice..I like it, though I went urethane as more durable, wouldn't have lasted a month if it were carbon.


careful of parking bay concrete stops, I bounce right off with no damage at all.
not intending on getting sides or rear diffuser as looks low enough to me.
