Input on Lipkits Needed

[al-ti2d]

Hey guys, I have a 1999 Honda Civic Si that I want to slap a lipkit onto... the thing is, I'm stuck trying to decide between a Wings West W-Type full lipkit or just a simple Greddy front lip with a CTR rear lip. Can you guys give me your opinions? At first I was set on a CTR lip kit but I think it's just a bit too simple and common for my taste.

Heres some pics

Greddy front lip:


and heres the Wings West lip kit: (don't mind the ugly spoiler)




The only iffy thing about that Wings West kit to me is the ricey side skirts but aside from that, I'm really liking the style of it. I also love the Greddy front lip... I can't decide which one I want so lets here some thoughts!
Also.. if any of you have any other pics of the Greddy lip then could you post a link up for me? I googled it but all the pics I find are pretty much the same and I'd like more of a full shot of the whole care instead of just the front end.

I'm a big fan of simple and common, the Greddy lip is to obvious and the WW kit is over the top.

If I had to chose it would be greddy lip and CTR rear.

IMO of course.....

Yea I was so set on getting the CTR full lip kit done to my civic for a while but all the civics I see around have either the mugen or the CTR kits on them.. I want to try to get away from that but I do see where you're coming from when you said that the Wings West kit is over the top... I still like it very much though (except those damn side skirts!)

You realize you don't HAVE to buy the side skirts right?

I think they look terrible. Get some stock ones, and go with the front lip.

Very good combination. But I also like just the original SIR front lip..so clean

Just a tip as well, if your car isn't lowered yet, make sure its lowered before you put a lip kit on it..will look much better.

for me in those, i'd get the greddy front with a rear ctr

i run a mugen front with ctr rear, really it just depends on how much you wanna spend too, spoon front lips are sweet too

I was planning on getting the whole kit online off their site.. so it'd have to come with the skirts. I guess i could always talk to CMS and have them see if they can get in the front and rear only though..
I'm leaning more towards the Greddy front lip right now though.. its not a CTR, mugen, or spoon lip.. but it's still pretty clean in my eyes

I have a CTR front lip on the EK and I love it. If I could do it again, however, I would go with a mugen front lip just for the fact that it isn't as common and just a little less subtle without going over the top. Just slightly more aggressive.

greedy for sure, the wings west front looks way to flared.

GReddy is too nice man.

what does material does CMS stock? ABS or Fiberglass...

What does OEM use by the way??

[hoamic11]

well i know CMS can get wings west stuff as well with the greddy, they are urethene (?), but most lips i find are abs, well the ones at STRD and Customauto mostly are abs

99-00 sir oem lip is urethene

to me it doesn't have a clean look. has a ricer look to it and its way to flared out for a front lip
