both are nice, but i will say i had a knockoff mugen on my eg and they break very easily and fitment is close but not dead on. i got a real type r from sombody used. its nice and fitment was perfect. and i say carbon fiber spoon i know its not on your list but they look so damn good.

abs plastic, carbon fiber, and fiberglass will all break very easily. Even polyurethane breaks pretty easily when its cold. You gotta remember, front lips hang under your bumper. So when they scrape, they're getting ground into the pavement at whatever speed you're driving with 2400lbs on top of it... it's hard to make a material that won't get damaged when that happens.

Mugen ftw! I think it looks the best IMO.

I had Type R... switched to Mugen and liked it much much better.

I got my front/rear there... it's a combo so it's a really good price. Also, shipping was decent from them for once.
