Do you guys like it? I can't decide between the OEM or Mugen, and i can't figure out if i like the mugen, or just like it because it is made by mugen.



I also do not think their is a spa with this front setup running around either, i may be the first to do it

I think it looks great, and it's functional.

i like it too. i think it's a bit more aggressive than the oem lip though.

BTW...here is the setup i hope to be running...

- Tein Flex
- OEM Hardtop
- Mugen lip
- BYS wing or wingless (another hard choice)
- 17'' le28n gunmetal rims

Think everything will flow nice? I just want a clean looking S before i start modding the engine.

I considered the lip when it first came out but decided against it. I'm not a fan of fiberglass being so close to the road. Once it chips it looks like a POS. I went with the OEM lip which is pretty durable and then added a CF splitter which protects the lip and provides down force to the nose. As for the durability of the Mugen lip I haven't heard one way or another. If it's for looks.......it "looks" very nice. For practical use and daily driving.......I can see it being a HUGE Pain-In-The-Ass......

Its your decision to make, but I've never understood the "all show and no go" philosphy. With the money you're looking to spend on exterior pieces, you could have gears, and basic bolt-ons. Again, my opinion only.
BTW, if you do any aggressive driving and you're lowered, I would think twice about this lip....its expensive as hell, and will be sitting low. It doesn't sound like a winning combo to me.

I prefer the OEM lip, personally.

Looks good, but then again, I have already succumbed to Mugen whore-dom.

another option i can take is to just get the oem, save the cash from the mugen, and down the road sell my oem front set up and just get an aftermarket bumper like the top secret or mugen ss.
